- Syntax is the study of the structure of sentences and how words are combined to form phrases and clauses.
- A sentence can be broken down into constituents, which are phrases or words that serve a grammatical function within the sentence. Constituents are combined and related through syntactic rules and analysis.
- Syntactic analysis involves identifying parts of speech, morphological features like tense and case, and syntactic functions like subjects, objects, and complements to determine a sentence's structure.
Componential analysis (feature analysis or contrast analysis) is the analysis of words through structured sets of semantic features, which are given as "present", "absent" or "indifferent with reference to feature". The method thus departs from the principle of compositionality. Componential analysis is a method typical of structural semantics which analyzes the components of a word's meaning.

Introduction to Language and Linguistics 005: Morphology & SyntaxMeagan Louie
Introduction to Language and Linguistics 005: Morphology & Syntax - In which we review the notion of morphological restrictions (word-internal distributional patterns), and introduce the idea of syntactic restrictions (word-external distributional patterns). Frame Sentences are introduced as a diagnostic for lexical category, and Phrase Structure Rules are introduced as a way to account for Frame Sentences (i.e., patterns in lexical word order). Hocket's design feature PRODUCTIVITY is discussed, and the difference between the Chomsky-style generative approach and a Skinner-style behaviourist approach mentioned.
Description of the subsystems of language and how teachers can draw on their knowledge of language and its subsystems to support ELs in their acquisition of language

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Definition
!
• Syntax is the study of the part of the human language that
studies how sentences are structured.
• It deals with the process through which words are put into
phrases, and how phrases in turn are combined to form larger
units called sentences.
• Syntactic rules in a grammar account for the grammaticality of
sentences, and the ordering of words and morphemes.
3. Syntax
!
• Syntax involves our knowledge of structural ambiguity,
• our knowledge that sentences may be paraphrases of each other,
and
• our knowledge of the grammatical function of each part of a
sentence, that is, of the grammatical relations.
4. Syntax
!
• It is also concerned with speakers' ability to produce and
understand an infinite set of possible sentences.
• The sentence is regarded the highest-ranking unit of grammar,
and therefore that the purpose of a grammatical description is
to define, making use of whatever descriptive apparatus that
may be necessary (rules, categories, etc).
5. Sentence Structure
!
• One aspect of the syntactic structure of sentences
is the division of a sentence into phrases, and
those phrases into further phrases, and so forth.
• Another aspect of the syntactic structure of a
sentence is "movement" relations that hold
between one syntactic position in a sentence and
another.
6. Sentence Structure
!
• The syntactic literature dealing with the
study of how sentences are structured
throws us a hint that syntactic research
should not only concern on how sentences
are merged out of their parts, units, or
constituents, but also on how constituents
are moved according to certain rules.
7. Constituents
•
!
Constituents are structural units, which refer to any linguistic
form, such as words or word groups.
• Although the term string is often used technically to refer to
sequences of words, sentences are not merely strings of words
in a permissible order and making sense.
• They are structured into successive components, consisting of
single words or groups of words.
• These groups and single words are called constituents (i.e.
structural units), and when they are considered as part of the
successive unraveling of a sentence, they are known as its
immediate constituents.
8. Constituents
!
• When we consider sentence My friend came home late last night, we
find out that it consists of seven word arranged in a particular order.
• In syntax, the seven words in this model sentence are its ultimate
constituents.
• This sentence and in general any sentence of the language may be
represented as a particular arrangement of the ultimate constituents,
which are the minimal grammatical elements, of which the sentence
is composed.
• Every sentence has therefore what we will refer to as a linear
structure. The small units are known as its immediate constituents.
9. Immediate Constituent Analysis
!
• Formal accounts of syntax are based on establishing the
basic constituents, namely, categories, from which word
strings are formed.
• Sentences are regarded as hierarchies of interlocking
smaller units, or constituents.
• After a sentence is cut into its constituent elements, the
two parts that are yielded are called immediate
constituents.
• Then, we get the smallest grammatical unit obtained
through the division, or segmentation, which is seen as
the ultimate constituent.
10. !
• The segmentation of the sentence up into its
immediate constituents by using binary cuttings
until its ultimate constituents are obtained is an
important approach to the realization of the
nature of language, called Immediate
Constituent Analysis (IC Analysis).
• The analysis can be carried out in ways of tree
diagrams, bracketing or any other. For example:
• (1) Poor| John║ ran |out.
12. construction
!
• A construction is a relationship between constituents.
Constructions are divided into two types: endocentric
constructions and exocentric constructions.
• Endocentric construction is one whose distribution is
functionally equivalent to that of one or more of its
constituents.
• Exocentric construction refers to a group of syntactically
related words where none of the words is functionally
equivalent to the group as a whole.
13. • If the total construction (head plus modification, or modification
plus head) has the same distributional characteristics as the
head constituent (head), it is usually called endocentric
construction. For example:
• They left because they were tied.
14. • Within this construction, They left is the head and because they
were tired is its modifier.
• Endocentric construction can further be divided into two types:
subordination and coordination.
15. • Any construction that does not belong to the same form class as
any one of its immediate constituents is an exocentric
construction.
• There is no head in exocentric constructions, and it is not
substitutable by any one of its constituents.
• No immediate constituent may function in a manner equivalent
to the whole construction of which it is a part.
16. Sentence Types
!
• Sentences in any language are constructed from a rather
small set of basic structural patterns and through certain
processes involving the expansion or transformation of
these basic patterns.
17.
18. Syntactic Function
!
• The traditional approach to syntactic function:
• identifies constituents of the sentence,
• states the part of speech each word belongs to,
• describes the inflexion involved, and
• explains the relationship each word related to the others.
• According to its relation to other constituents, a
constituent may serve certain syntactic function in a
clause.
19. Syntactic Function
!
• There are five functional categories of clause constituents:
• subject, verb, object, complement, adverbial.
• Object can be subdivided into direct object and indirect object.
• Complement can be subdivided into subject complement and
object complement.
• Adverbial can be subdivided into subject-related adverbial and
object-related adverbial.
20. Tense and Aspect
!
• The category of tense has to do with time-
relations and relates the time of the action,
event or state of affairs referred to in the
sentence to the time of utterance (the time of
utterance being 'now').
• Tense is therefore a deictic category, and is
simultaneously a property of the sentence and
the utterance.
21. Tense and Aspect
!
• The term aspect was first used to refer to the distinction
of 'perfective' and 'imperfective' in the inflexion of
verbs in Russian and other Slavonic languages.
• English has two aspects:
• the 'perfect' (e.g. I have/had read the book. I will/would
have read the book) and the 'imperfect' (e.g. I am/was
reading the book, I will/would be reading the book).
• They combine freely with one another (e.g. I have/had
been reading the book).
22. Number and gender
!
• Number is a grammatical category for the analysis of such
contrasts as singular and plural of certain word classes. In
English, number is a feature of nouns and verbs.
• Gender demonstrates such contrasts as "masculine, feminine,
and neuter", and "animate: inanimate", etc. for the analysis
of certain word classes.
• In most languages, grammatical gender has little to do with
the biological sex.
• For instance, in French, the moon, which has nothing to do
with the biological sex, is grammatically feminine.
23. Case
!
• The case category is often used in the analysis of
word classes to identify the syntactic relationship
between words in a sentence.
• It is a feature of the noun, largely functionally
definable (nominative for mentioning the subject,
vocative for exclaiming or calling, accusative for
mentioning the object, genitive for ownership,
dative for indicating benefit, ablative for direction
or agency).
24. Concord and Government
!
• The forms of words can be restricted by grammatical
categories through concord or agreement and through
government.
• A verb is to agree with the subject in person and number.
• In English this rule only affects the verb according the
number of the subject.
• For example,
• The boy goes to school.
• The boys go to school.

!
43. Transformational Rules!
• It is called "transformational-generative"
grammar because it attempts to do two things:
• to provide the rules that can be used to
generate grammatical sentences
• to show how basic sentences can be
transformed into either synonymous phrases
or more complex sentences.!
44. Deep Structure and Surface
Structure !
• Deep structure is the abstract structure and can be
said to be the propositional core of the sentence.
• According to Traugott (1980: 141), deep structure
shows the basic form of a sentence with all the
necessary information to derive a well-formed
sentence, and to give it a phonological
representation and a semantic interpretation. !
45. • Surface structure is the actually produced
structure.
• In Bussman's (1996: 465-466) words, it is the
directly observable actual form of sentences as
they are used in communication, and from the
perspective of transformational grammar, surface
structure is a relatively abstract sentence
structure resulting from the application of base
rules and transformational rules.!
46. • The relationship between deep structure and
surface structure is that of transformation.
• Since the relationship is usually a
complicated one, we can best use
transformational rules in the total process of
relating deep structure to surface structures.!
