Generative Grammar: A Meaning First Approach [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 The theory of language must predict the possible thought—signal (or meaning—sound or sign) pairings of a language. We argue for a Meaning First architecture of language where a thought structure is generated first.

Scientific modelling in generative grammar and the dynamic turn in syntax [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, I address the issue of scientific modelling in contemporary linguistics, focusing on the generative tradition. In so doing, I identify two common varieties of linguistic idealisation, which I call determination and isolation respectively ...

Structured Propositions in a Generative Grammar [PDF]
Mind, 2016 Semantics in the Montagovian tradition combine two basic tenets. One tenet is that semantic value of a sentence is an intension, a function from points of evaluations into truth-values. The other tenet is that the semantic value of a composite expression is the result of applying the function denoted by one component to arguments denoted by the other ...

Complexity and Relative Complexity in Generative Grammar
Frontiers in Communication, 2021 The notions of “complexity” and its antonym “simplicity” have played an important role in the history of generative grammar. However, these terms have been used in different ways. There have been discussions about whether the raw data is complex (or not),

Capacity Bounded Grammars and Petri Nets [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2009 A capacity bounded grammar is a grammar whose derivations are restricted by assigning a bound to the number of every nonterminal symbol in the sentential forms.

Combining transformative generative grammar and systemic functional grammar: Linguistic competence, syntax and second language acquisition [PDF]
, 2017 Transformational generative grammar (TGG) and systemic functional grammar (SFG) are two of the most influential theoretical linguistic schools. Previous literature has mostly taken the two approaches as two contrastive perspectives to language.
