Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive system for transformational grammar was designed and is being implemented on the IBM 360/67 computer. The system deals with the transformational model of syntax, along the lines of Chomsky's 'Aspects of the Theory of Syntax'. The major innovations include a full and formal description of the syntax of a transformational grammar, a directed random phrase structure generator, a lexical insertion algorithm, and a simple problem-oriented programming language in which the algorithm for application of transformations can be expressed. The paper presents the system as a whole, first discussing the philosophy underlying the development of the system, then outlining the system and discussing its more important special features. References are given to papers which consider particular aspects of the system in detail.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume describe computer runs with six different transformational grammars, in each case using the computer system for transformational grammar described in AD-665 827. They are collected as examples which, it is hoped, will encourage other linguists to use the system. The motivation for the first three projects described was primarily to test the system. The remaining papers describe experiments by linguists using the system as a tool in their own research. (Author).

This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 889 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces formal grammar theories that play a role in current linguistic theorizing (Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar/Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar). The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective theory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect to their predictions regarding language acquisition and psycholinguistic plausibility. The nativism hypothesis, which assumes that humans posses genetically determined innate language-specific knowledge, is critically examined and alternative models of language acquisition are discussed. The second part then addresses controversial issues of current theory building such as the question of flat or binary branching structures being more appropriate, the question whether constructions should be treated on the phrasal or the lexical level, and the question whether abstract, non-visible entities should play a role in syntactic analyses. It is shown that the analyses suggested in the respective frameworks are often translatable into each other. The book closes with a chapter showing how properties common to all languages or to certain classes of languages can be captured.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past two years the Computational Linguistics Project in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University has been engaged in research leading to computer programs for accepting and manipulating transformational grammars corresponding to a version of the theory based on Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. These programs have been combined into a computer system for transformational grammar which accepts a transformational grammar in a natural format, and carries out the complete generation of sentences, from phrase structure generation, through lexical insertion and transformation. These programs are the first to handle complete sentence generation. The project has made some interesting contributions to linguistic theory, particularly in the areas of formal definition of grammars, lexical insertion, and traffic rules for transformations. The results obtained are described in reports which have been issued during the course of the project. To summarize these results the abstracts of the more important papers are included here. The bibliography attached to this report contains a list of current reports produced by the project. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Chomsky laid the framework for a mathematically formal theory of syntax, two classes of formal models have held wide appeal. The finite state model offered simplicity. At the opposite extreme numerous very powerful models, most notable transformational grammar, offered generality. As soon as this mathematical framework was laid, devastating arguments were given by Chomsky and others indicating that the finite state model was woefully inadequate for the syntax of natural language. In response, the completely general transformational grammar model was advanced as a suitable vehicle for capturing the description of natural language syntax. While transformational grammar seems likely to be adequate to the task, many researchers have advanced the argument that it is "too adequate. " A now classic result of Peters and Ritchie shows that the model of transformational grammar given in Chomsky's Aspects [IJ is powerful indeed. So powerful as to allow it to describe any recursively enumerable set. In other words it can describe the syntax of any language that is describable by any algorithmic process whatsoever. This situation led many researchers to reasses the claim that natural languages are included in the class of transformational grammar languages. The conclu sion that many reached is that the claim is void of content, since, in their view, it says little more than that natural language syntax is doable algo rithmically and, in the framework of modern linguistics, psychology or neuroscience, that is axiomatic.

Book excerpt: A global introduction to language technology and the areas of computer science where language technology plays a role. Surveyed in this volume are issues related to the parsing problem in the fields of natural languages, programming languages, and formal languages.Throughout the book attention is paid to the social forces which influenced the development of the various topics. Also illustrated are the development of the theory of language analysis, its role in compiler construction, and its role in computer applications with a natural language interface between men and machine. Parts of the material in this book have been used in courses on computational linguistics, computers and society, and formal approaches to languages.
