Universals Across Languages
One motivation for model theoretic approaches to syntax is the prospect of enabling us to “abstract fully away from the details of the grammar mechanism – to express syntactic theories purely in terms of the properties of the class of structures they license” (Rogers, 1996). This is a worthy goal: in order to see the significant relations among expressions and their parts more clearly, and to d...
متن کاملCross-Language Person-Entity Linking from Twenty Languages
The goal of entity linking is to associate references to some entity that are found in unstructured natural language content to an authoritative inventory of known entities. This paper describes the construction of six test collections for cross-language person-entity linking that together span 22 languages. Fully automated components were used together with two crowdsourced validation stages t...
متن کاملLanguage Learning and Language Universals
This paper explores the role of learning in generative grammar, highlighting interactions between distributional patterns in the environment and the innate structure of the language faculty. Reviewing three case studies, it is shown how learners use their language faculties to leverage the environment, making inferences from distributions to grammars that would not be licensed in the absence of...
متن کاملLanguage universals at birth.
The evolution of human languages is driven both by primitive biases present in the human sensorimotor systems and by cultural transmission among speakers. However, whether the design of the language faculty is further shaped by linguistic biological biases remains controversial. To address this question, we used near-infrared spectroscopy to examine whether the brain activity of neonates is sen...
متن کاملFrom language-specific constraints to implicational universals
This article seeks to shed more light on the well-studied, yet still challenging, dative alternation. It starts from the cognitive-typological suggestion of Croft (2001, 2003) that language-internal variation is subject to the same constraints as cross-linguistic variation (the semantic map model), and that careful languagespecific research may therefore reveal facts about language in general. ...
