Computational principles of syntax in the regions specialized for language: integrating theoretical linguistics and functional neuroimaging. [PDF]
Front Behav Neurosci, 2013 The nature of computational principles of syntax remains to be elucidated. One promising approach to this problem would be to construct formal and abstract linguistic models that parametrically predict the activation modulations in the regions ...

Information-Theoretic Probing for Linguistic Structure [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The success of neural networks on a diverse set of NLP tasks has led researchers to question how much these networks actually ``know'' about natural language. Probes are a natural way of assessing this. When probing, a researcher chooses a linguistic task and trains a supervised model to predict annotations in that linguistic task from the network's ...

On the goals of theoretical linguistics [PDF]
Theoretical LinguisticsAbstract We review some of the main goals of theoretical linguistics in the tradition of Generative Grammar: description, evolvability and learnability. We evaluate recent efforts to address these goals, culminating with the Minimalist Program.

Bridges Over Troubled Waters: Theoretical Linguistics And Multilingualism Research *
, 2012 This paper tries to construct a bridge between the concerns of theoretical linguistics and those of multilingualism and code-switching (CS) research. It argues that the primary special point of interaction between these fields lies in the question of ...

Large language models are better than theoretical linguists at theoretical linguistics
Theoretical LinguisticsLarge language models are better than theoretical linguists at theoretical linguistics, at least in the domain of verb argument structure; explaining why (for example), we can say both The ball rolled and Someone rolled the ball, but not both The man ...
