Aligning grammatical theories and language processing models.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address two important questions about the relationship between theoretical linguistics and psycholinguistics. First, do grammatical theories and language processing models describe separate cognitive systems, or are they accounts of different aspects of the same system? We argue that most evidence is consistent with the one-system view. Second, how should we relate grammatical theories and language processing models to each other?

Planning and production of grammatical and lexical verbs in multi-word messages
Grammatical words represent the part of grammar that can be most directly contrasted with the lexicon. Aphasiological studies, linguistic theories and psycholinguistic studies suggest that their processing is operated at different stages in speech production. Models of sentence production propose that at the formulation stage, lexical words are processed at the functional level while grammatica...

In parasitic-gap constructions an illicit gap inside a syntactic island becomes acceptable in combination with an additional licit gap, a result that has interesting implications for theories of grammar. Such constructions hold even greater interest for the question of the relation between grammatical knowledge and real-time language processing. This article presents results from two experiment...
متن کاملThe Logical Problem of Language Change
This paper considers the problem of language change. Linguists must explain not only how languages are learned but also how and why they have evolved along certain trajectories and not others. While the language learning problem has focused on the behavior of individuals and how they acquire a particular grammar from a class of grammars G, here we consider a population of such learners and inve...
متن کاملConverting the Penn Treebank to Systemic Functional Grammar
Systemic functional linguistics offers a grammar that is semantically organised, so that salient grammatical choices are made explicit. This paper describes the explication of these choices through the conversion of the Penn Treebank into a systemic functional grammar corpus. Developing such a resource can help connect work in natural language processing to a significant body of research dealin...
متن کاملConnectionist models of language production: lexical access and grammatical encoding
Theories of language production have long been expressed as connectionist models. We outline the issues and challenges that must be addressed by connectionist models of lexical access and grammatical encoding, and review three recent models. The models illustrate the value of an interactive activation approach to lexical access in production, the need for sequential output in both phonological ...
