Word-Internal Syntax: Evidence from Ojibwa*
نویسنده
چکیده
Many theories of grammar make a sharp distinction between the arrangement of words within a clause and the arrangement of morphemes within a word (but see Baker 1988). What is unfortunate about this distinction is that theories of syntax provide universal and well-motivated operations to account for the arrangement of words within a clause, while the arrangement of morphemes within a word is relegated to the application of idiosyncratic and unmotivated rules.

On the Nature of Syntactic Variation: Evidence from Complex Predicates and Complex Word-formation
The existence of substantive parametric variation in syntax, as characterized in Chomsky 1981, has been questioned in the more recent generative literature, notably in Borer 1984, Fukui 1986, and Chomsky 1993. This article provides converging evidence from child language acquisition and comparative syntax for the existence of a syntactic parameter in the classical sense of Chomsky 1981, with si...

Phrase-boundary model for statistical machine translation labels the rules with classes of boundary words on the target side phrases of training corpus. In this paper, we extend the phrase-boundary model using shallow syntactic labels including POS tags and chunk labels. With the priority of chunk labels, the proposed model names non-terminals with shallow syntactic labels on the boundaries of ...
متن کاملThe Roots of Linguistic Organization in a New Language.
It is possible for a language to emerge with no direct linguistic history or outside linguistic influence. Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language (ABSL) arose about 70 years ago in a small, insular community with a high incidence of profound prelingual neurosensory deafness. In ABSL, we have been able to identify the beginnings of phonology, morphology, syntax, and prosody. The linguistic elements we ...
متن کاملLearning Syntax-Semantics Mappings to Bootstrap Word Learning
This paper addresses possible interactive effects between word learning and syntax learning at an early stage of development. We present a computational model that simulates how the results from a syntax learning process and a word learning process can be integrated to build syntax-semantics mappings, and how the emergence of links between syntax and word learning could facilitate subsequent wo...
