Syntax
Exploring the concept that linguistic structures are generated from innate grammatical rules and principles, central to Chomskyan linguistics.
Studying the syntax structures that involve transformations, a key concept in generative grammar to understand how different sentence forms relate.
Focusing on the dependency relationship between grammatical units, where structure is determined by the relation between a word (head) and its dependents.
Analyzing how words combine into larger units called constituents, important for understanding sentence structure and parsing.
Investigating the formal rules that describe a language's phrase structure, providing the foundation for the syntactic analysis of sentences.
Examining the syntax theory that focuses on the head of a phrase as the determinant of the syntactic types of the entire construction.
Discussing the approach to syntax where grammar is characterized by a set of rules that associate words with syntactic categories.
Focusing on the role of lexical information in syntactic analysis and the separation of grammatical structure into multiple levels of representation.
Exploring this type of formal grammar that uses a small set of trees connected by adjunction and substitution operations to parse sentences.
Covering the syntactic theory that proposes a modular approach to syntax, with principles like government, binding, and the theory of movement.
Discussing a modern theoretical framework in generative syntax aiming to minimize the complex structure of linguistic rules and constraints.
Comparing syntactic structures and processes across different languages, informing the universals and variations in syntax.
Analyzing the phenomenon where elements in a sentence shift position, a critical tool to understand structures like questions and passives.
Classifying languages based on their syntactic properties to study patterns and differences in sentence structure across languages.
Investigating the relationship between syntax and semantics and how sentence structure affects meaning.
Understanding how sentences are analyzed and deconstructed into their constituent parts, an essential process in syntactic analysis and natural language processing.
