In linguistics, X-bar theory is a model of phrase-structure grammar and a theory of syntactic category formation[1] that was first proposed by Noam Chomsky in 1970[2] reformulating the ideas of Zellig Harris (1951,[3]) and further developed by Ray Jackendoff (1974,[4] 1977a,[5] 1977b[6]), along the lines of the theory of generative grammar put forth in the 1950s by Chomsky.[7][8] It attempts to capture the structure of phrasal categories with a single uniform structure called the X-bar schema, basing itself on the assumption that any phrase in natural language is an XP (X phrase) that is headed by a given syntactic category X. It played a significant role in resolving issues that phrase structure rules had, representative of which is the proliferation of grammatical rules, which is against the thesis of generative grammar.

X-bar theory was incorporated into both transformational and nontransformational theories of syntax, including government and binding theory (GB), generalized phrase structure grammar (GPSG), lexical-functional grammar (LFG), and head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG).[9] Although recent work in the minimalist program has largely abandoned X-bar schemata in favor of bare phrase structure approaches, the theory's central assumptions are still valid in different forms and terms in many theories of minimalist syntax.

Naturalism applied scientific principles to characterize individuals as helpless objects influenced by environment and heredity. Regionalist works aimed to capture specific locales through descriptions of dialects, traditions, and landscapes unique to a region.
Transcendentalism
American Transcendentalism was a 19th century philosophy that emphasized intuition over reason, individualism over conformity, and finding meaning in nature rather than traditional religion. Some key beliefs were that the individual is spiritually connected to a universal oversoul or God; knowledge comes from self-reflection; and virtue comes from self-realization and living according to one's conscience rather than external rules. The movement developed as a response to secularization and the limitations of traditional religion in addressing social issues and the new scientific understanding of the world.
