In the course of providing an (infinitary) axiomatization of the equational theory of the class of context-free languages, Grathwohl, Kozen and Henglein (2013) have introduced the class of μcontinuous Chomsky algebras. These are idempotent semirings where least solutions for systems of polynomial inequations (i.e. context-free grammars) can be computed iteratively and where multiplication is co...

In this paper, I discuss the properties of raising constructions in Uyghur, a Turkic language spoken in Central Asia. Uyghur exhibits Raising of genitive subjects, which I argue are structurally case-marked. This makes untenable the Activity Condition proposed by Chomsky (1998, 2001). Genitive case assignment to subjects of embedded CPs in Uyghur is also in conflict with the strong version of t...

In this paper, we improve b-spline collocation method for Benjamin-Bona-Mahony-Burgers (BBMB) by using defect correction principle. The exact finite difference scheme is used to find defect and the defect correction principle is used to improve collocation method. The method is tested on somemodel problems and the numerical results have been obtained and compared.

This paper describes Chomsky, a content language translation agent. This agent provides a service, which first translates the content expression from its original language into an abstract logic language (ALL). Then, the resulting ALL expression is translated to the desired target language. ALL has been designed as a superset of most known content languages to avoid loosing expressiveness durin...

This study investigated whether formal complexity, as described by the Chomsky Hierarchy, corresponds to cognitive complexity during language learning. According to the Chomsky Hierarchy, nested dependencies (context-free) are less complex than cross-serial dependencies (mildly context-sensitive). In two artificial grammar learning (AGL) experiments participants were presented with a language c...

These mappings are usually defined using rules of the form A -+ B / U D e.g. (1), usually called "context-sensitive", but which in fact define unrestricted rewriting systems, since B may be the empty string (Gazdar 1.987). It should be recalled that "if all we can say about a grammar of a natural language is that it is an unrestricted rewriting system, we have said nothing of any interest" (Cho...

The question of subjecthood has dogged linguistic science since ancient times. However, in current versions of Minimalism, subjects do not have primitive status and can only be defined in derived terms. However, subjects and the broader theoretical notion of SUBJECT remain important in linguistic description. This paper develops a definition of subjecthood in terms of set-theoretic notions of f...

As Piaget consistently acknowledges, all learning is an active process. Reading, then, is an activity, a proecess of confrontation between an individual and a text (3). For both Piaget and Chomsky, language is highly strcutured. In Chomsky’s terms, there is a linguistic relationship between the surface structure and the phonological aspects of language. DEVELOPING A PHILOSOPHY OF READING: PIAGE...
