Explicit codification in Pāṇini and generative grammar

Rhesis
Generative grammar and Pāṇini’s grammar – so-called Aṣṭādhyāyī, dating from ca. 4th century B.C. – differ in scope and goals: while generative grammarians search for the limits of variation in natural languages to explain what makes language acquisition

Generative grammar [PDF]

, 2009
Generative Grammar is the label of the most influential research program in linguistics and related fields in the second half of the 20. century. Initiated by a short book, Noam Chomsky's Syntactic Structures (1957), it became one of the driving forces ...

The Origin and Rationale of X-bar Syntax

Hermes, 1993
The present paper is intended as a reasonably elementary introduction to the nature of X-bar syntax, an important module in the structure of a modern transformational-generative grammar.

Three Generative, Lexicalised Models for Statistical Parsing

, 1997
In this paper we first propose a new statistical parsing model, which is a generative model of lexicalised context-free grammar. We then extend the model to include a probabilistic treatment of both subcategorisation and wh-movement.

Comparing lexicalized grammar formalisms in an empirically adequate way : the notion of generative attachment capacity [PDF]

, 2006
The work presented here addresses the question of how to determine whether a grammar formalism is powerful enough to describe natural languages. The expressive power of a formalism can be characterized in terms of i) the string languages it generates ...

Qualia Structure in Spanish Prepositional Verbs: When the verb resorts to a preposition

Borealis: An International Journal of Hispanic Linguistics, 2014
In generative grammar it is generally assumed that argumental prepositional phrases (PPs) can have two syntactic functions: argument and complement. Contrary to this assumption, I will propose a unified syntactic treatment for all argumental PPs, which I

Empirical Risk Minimization with Approximations of Probabilistic Grammars [PDF]

, 2010
Probabilistic grammars are generative statistical models that are useful for compositional and sequential structures. We present a framework, reminiscent of structural risk minimization, for empirical risk minimization of the parameters of a fixed ...
