Child Relativized Minimality and Grammaticality Judgement

On the Emergence of Relativized Minimality

It is well known that the field of linguistics is suffering from the lack of unification between theoretical and experimental linguistics (Embick and Poeppel 2006), due to the lack of granularity between the primitives used in these fields. In this context, this research puts forward a research program to achieve a degree of unification between the said disciplines. Specifically, it is claimed ...

Grammaticality Judgement in a Word Completion Task

In this paper, we present findings from a human judgement task we conducted on the effectiveness of syntax filtering in a word completion task. Human participants were asked to review a series of incomplete sentences and identify which words from accompanying lists extend the expressions in a grammatically appropriate way. The accompanying word lists were generated by two word completion system...

Relativized codes

A code C over an alphabet Σ is a set of words such that every word in C+ has a unique factorization over C, that is, a unique C-decoding. When not all words in C+ appear as messages, a weaker notion of unique factorization can be used. Thus we consider codes C relative to a given set of messages L, such that each word in L has a unique C-decoding. We extend this idea of relativizing code concep...
