Reading behavior predicts syntactic categories
It is well-known that readers are less likely to fixate their gaze on closed class syntactic categories such as prepositions and pronouns. This paper investigates to what extent the syntactic category of a word in context can be predicted from gaze features obtained using eye-tracking equipment. If syntax can be reliably predicted from eye movements of readers, it can speed up linguistic annota...
متن کاملBetween Reading Time and Syntactic/Semantic Categories
This article presents a contrastive analysis between reading time and syntactic/semantic categories in Japanese. We overlaid the reading time annotation of BCCWJ-EyeTrack and a syntactic/semantic category information annotation on the ‘Balanced Corpus of Contemporary Written Japanese’. Statistical analysis based on a mixed linear model showed that verbal phrases tend to have shorter reading tim...
متن کاملLearnability and the autonomy of syntactic categories
Linguistics might be easier if there were a fixed, finite number of string substitution tests that could distinguish any pair of categories, or if the categories were fixed and finite across grammars of all possible human languages. But the evidence does not support these simple ideas (at least, as we can understand them now), and so linguistics is more of a challenge, and language acquisition ...
متن کاملEarly Acquisition of Syntactic Categories Page 1 Early Acquisition of Syntactic Categories: A Formal Model
We propose an explicit, incremental strategy by which children could group words with similar syntactic privileges into discrete, unlabeled categories. This strategy, which can discover lexical ambiguity, is based in part on a generalization of the idea of sentential minimal pairs. As a result, it makes minimal assumptions about the availability of syntactic knowledge at the onset of categoriza...
متن کاملMixed categories in HPSG
It is often assumed that there is a small number of primitive, universal, and perhaps innate syntactic categories. Mixed category constructions involve lexical items that seem to be central members of more that one part of speech and so pose a problem for the standard view of syntactic categories. For example, the verbal gerund phrase in Chris worried about Pat’s frequently eating hamburgers ha...
