This study aims to analyze the sentence structures of fairy tales. It was designed with a descriptive qualitative research Aesop’s tales entitled The Lion and Mouse hare Tortoise as data source by applying method rewriting rules in tree diagram analysis syntactical theory, called PSG (Phrase-Structure Grammar). took 26 which 13 sentences were taken directly from other Hare Tortoise. focused o...

Prosody and syntax are highly related, even if the prosodic structure cannot be directly mapped to the syntactic one and vice versa. This paper presents an experiment for exploring in what degree a powerful HMM-based automatic prosodic segmentation tool can recover the syntactic structure of an utterance in speech understanding systems. Results show that the approach is capable of recalling up ...

The paper describes an experimental model of syntactic structure generation starting from the limited fragment of semantics that deals with the quantitative values of object parameters. To present the input information the basic semantic units of four types are proposed:"object", "parameter", "function" and "constant". For the syntactic structure representation the system of syntactic component...

This research tested the hypothesis that shared or related neurophysiological processes are required for treating (a) non-linguistic abstract structure and (b) some aspects of linguistic syntactic structure. In language, one syntactic structure can be used to create an open class of sentences. We have previously proposed a relation between this generative aspect of syntactic structure and the a...

Recent research in the area of Second Language Acquisition has proposed that bilinguals and L2 learners show syntactic indeterminacy when syntactic properties interface with other cognitive domains. Most of the research in this area has focused on the pragmatic use of syntactic properties while the investigation of compliance with a grammatical rule at syntax-related interfaces has not received...

The neural basis of syntax is a matter of substantial debate. In particular, the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), or Broca's area, has been prominently linked to syntactic processing, but the anterior temporal lobe has been reported to be activated instead of IFG when manipulating the presence of syntactic structure. These findings are difficult to reconcile because they rely on different laborato...
