Polarity Items are linguistic expressions known for being a ‘lexically controlled’ phenomenon. In this paper we show how their behavior can be implemented in a deductive system. Furthermore, we point out some possible directions to recast the deductive solution into a Tree Adjoining Grammar system. In particular, we suggest to compare the proof system developed for Multimodal Categorial Grammar...

This paper is focused on the extension of Categorial Unification Grammar (CUG) in order to achieve a compact grammatical representation scheme for the syntactic analysis of free word order languages. The resulting grammar was applied to the implementation of an efficient parser within a German natural language interface to a deductive database by making use of the Integrated Deductive Approach ...

The current study aims at investigating the effect of using deductive and inductive methods on students’ grammar in a Senior High School (SHS) Ghana. It examines method performance to find out statistically significant difference between students taught those method. 100 were chosen for purpose study. There two groups consisting 50 each. One is made up experimental while other control group. re...

The status of English grammar teaching in English teaching has weakened and even once disappeared in part English class; until the late 1980s, foreign English teachers had a consistent view of the importance of grammar teaching. In recent years, more and more domestic scholars begin to think about the situation of China and explore the grammar teaching method. This article will review the expli...

Many theories of grammar and styles of grammar speciication have stemmed from mathematical logic, computer science, and computational linguistics, and have been used for describing natural languages. By a series of constructions, we relate categorial, attribute and logic grammars via (axiomatic) labelled deductive systems, and extend this relation to accommodate uniication-based grammars and so...

ABSTRACT:

The goal this was examine the determine constraints that process. design applied research is qualitative approach type a case study. researcher used questionnaires, interviews, observation gather data for English teacher who taught second year students some became responde...

PURPOSE To evaluate the learning effects of a deductive language-teaching procedure when teaching a novel gender agreement verb inflection to children with language impairment. METHOD Thirty-two 6-8-year-old children with language impairment were randomly assigned to either a deductive (N = 16) or an inductive (N = 16) treatment group. In the deductive treatment, the examiner presented a rule...
