Divergence from Syntax to Linear Order in Ancient Greek Lexical Networks
All natural languages allegedly tend to minimize the length (and thus, the number of crossings) of syntactic dependencies by arranging words into an adequate linear order. Focusing on Ancient Greek as a case of study, this paper demonstrates that this tendency is far from constant. The method consists in inducing a pair of networks from a text representing a given diachronic variety, using lemm...
متن کاملThe Syntax - Phonology Interface *
The topic of the syntax-phonology interface is broad, encompassing different submodules of grammar and interactions of these. This chapter addresses one fundamental aspect of the syntax-phonology interface in detail: the relation between syntactic constituency and the prosodic constituent domains for sentence-level phonological and phonetic phenomena. Two further core aspects, which rely on an ...
متن کاملLanguage evolution: syntax before phonology?
Phonology and syntax represent two layers of sound combination central to language's expressive power. Comparative animal studies represent one approach to understand the origins of these combinatorial layers. Traditionally, phonology, where meaningless sounds form words, has been considered a simpler combination than syntax, and thus should be more common in animals. A linguistically informed ...
متن کاملPhonology and syntax in specific language impairment: evidence from a connectionist model.
Difficulties in resolving pronominal anaphora have been taken as evidence that Specific Language Impairment (SLI) involves a grammar-specific impairment. The present study explores an alternative view, that grammatical deficits in SLI are sequelae of impaired speech perception. This perceptual deficit specifically affects the use of phonological information in working memory, which in turn lead...
متن کاملPhonology and phonetics of Greek palatalisation
The present investigation examines palatal production as well as the relation of phonology and phonetics in Greek. In accordance with one production experiment, the results indicate: (1) palatal productions that surface from one underlying segment are significantly longer than palatal productions that surface from two underlying segments, (2) palatal productions are voice assimilated with the p...
