Towards a Theory of Morphology as Syntax
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Phenomena traditionally thought of as morphological can be accounted for in terms syntactic operations and principles, hence bringing forth questions that traditional morphology fails to ask (for instance, concerning the licensing empty morphemes). The language faculty contains no specific component, nor any post-syntactic operations.

Optimality theory in morphology and syntax
The article gives a brief summary of work dealing with morpho-syntactic phenomena in OT, and also addresses more general problems. It highlights on questions of optimal ordering, optimal case, and optimal agreeement, including phenomena such as morphological gaps, repairs and case-split. It finally addresses the concepts of stochastic OT and bidirectional OT. key words: bidirectional OT, candid...
متن کاملIntrinsic Value: Towards A Pragmatic Theory
Intrinsic value is a concept central to the environmentalist movement. Whether one believes that natural objects have intrinsic value is supposed to determine whether one takes a ecocentric or homocentric approach to environmentalism, whether we practice deep or (merely) shallow ecology. Yet this concept is also a center of controversy and confusion. Just what does it mean for something to ha...
متن کاملChains in Syntax and Morphology
This paper argues for the existence of a deeper and more primitive structural unit of syntax and morphology than the constituent. Data from ellipsis, idiom formation, predicate complexes, bracketing paradoxes, and multiple auxiliary constructions challenge constituency-based analyses. In chain-based dependency grammar, however, constituents are seen as complete components. Components are units ...
متن کاملCollective Choice as Information Theory: Towards a Theory of Gravitas
The present paper introduces a new approach to the the theory of voting in the context of binary collective choice, which seeks to define a dynamic optimal voting rule by using insights derived from the mathematical theory of information. In order to define such a voting rule, a method of defining a real-valued measure of the weight of independent opinion of an arbitrary set of voters is sugges...
متن کاملTowards a dynamic constituency model of syntax
Incrementality is a basic feature of the human language processor. There is a considerable amount of objective data that humans build-up interpretations of the sentences before perceiving the end of the sentence (Marslen-Wilson, 1973; Kamide et al., 2003), and there is also evidence to support the idea that such incremental interpretation is based on fast, incremental construction of syntactic ...
