Dynamical grammar / Peter W. Culicover

Public ISBD Titre : Dynamical grammar : minimalism, acquisition, and change / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter W. Culicover ; Andrzej Nowak Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2003 Collection : Foundations of syntax Sous-collection : Oxford linguistics num. 2 Importance : xx, 324 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-870025-8 Note générale : Second series statement from jacket. Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 415 Résumé : Dynamical Grammar explores the consequences for language acquisition, language evolution, and linguistic theory of taking the underlying architecture of the language faculty to be that of a dynamical system. The authors investigate whether it is possible for a complex adaptive system to identify the categories, structures, and rules of a language given access only to instances of grammatical utterances of that language. The linguistic tradition says that this is impossible, but there is a growing body of literature in psychology and computer science arguing that grammar can be uncovered using purely statistical techniques applied to the distribution of forms in a string of words. The book goes on to discuss whether a learner requires information about structure that goes beyond the information that is contained in the meaning. Does the learner have to have knowledge of grammar per se prior to language acquisition, as has been traditionally assumed? The authors ask whether it is possible to adequately describe and explain linguistic phenomena if we restrict ourselves to the relatively impoverished apparatus that we require for language acquisition. They explore the consequences of adopting a radical form of minimalism to try to reconcile the linguistic facts with the book's perspective of language acquisition. Culicover and Nowak investigate to what extent it is possible to account for language variation in dynamical terms, as a consequence of the behaviour of the complex social network in which languages and the properties of languages are acquired by learners through interactions with other speakers over time.

Principles and parameters / Peter W. Culicover

Public ISBD Titre : Principles and parameters : an introduction to syntactic theory / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter W. Culicover Editeur : Oxford : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 1997 Importance : xvi, 444 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-870014-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 415 Résumé : Principle and Parameters is a new textbook intended for the advanced undergraduate or postgraduate student of linguistics. In this readable and authoritative survey of the theory, incorporating much of Government and Binding (GB) theory, Peter Culicover summarizes the major proposals and results of Case theory, Theta theory, X'-theory, Binding theory, the theory of A- and A'- movement, locality conditions, and the theory of Logical Form (LF). He provides an up to date introduction to a number of more recent proposals, including Chomsky's Minimalist Program, Larsonian shells, and Kayne's Antisymmetry theory. A major concern and organizing principle of the book is to give the student an understanding of how specific methodological assumptions underlie the core analyses that have played a central role in the development of the theory. Each chapter is followed by an extensive set of exercises which lead the student from the point of applying the mechanics of the theory to developing and organizing new data, providing analyses, and exploring alternative hypotheses. There are also graded and annotated guides to further reading for each chapter, and, as a general aid to the student, a comprehensive glossary of terms.
