The document discusses the differences between transformational grammar and unification grammar. Transformational grammar uses transformations and movement to relate syntactic structures, while unification grammar relates all linguistic information through matching, copying and unifying without movement. Both approaches aim to account for both syntactic and semantic details, but unification grammar claims to provide a simpler analysis by reducing everything to unified representations.

Semantics Third
- The document discusses semantics and how meaning is derived from words, concepts, and objects in the real world. It explores different theories of word meaning, including referential semantics which relates words to objects, and lexical semantics which relates words to other words.
- Componential analysis and semantic feature analysis are introduced as ways to decompose meaning into more basic components or semantic primitives. These should be binary (on/off) and apply universally across cultures.
- Examples show how words can be broken down into semantic features to define their meaning, such as [+human] for concepts like "man" and "woman".
Sem overview
This document discusses semantics and the philosophical debate around the nature of concepts and meaning. It covers various perspectives from Plato, Aristotle, William of Ockham, Immanuel Kant, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and William James on whether concepts truly exist or are just tools created by language and the mind. Modern semantics has not resolved these issues, and scientists do not understand what meaning looks like physically in the brain. The document encourages thinking about these questions without definitive answers.
HistoricalSemantics
This document discusses the origins and evolution of word meanings over time through etymology. It provides examples of how the meanings of words like "cunning", "meat", and "crown" have changed from their original senses. The document also notes that etymological dictionaries trace the development of words from their roots in other languages like Latin, Greek, French and Dutch and how these languages have influenced the vocabulary of English.
Sentence semantics
This document provides examples of propositional and predicate logic. It introduces basic logical concepts like propositions, truth values, connectives like "if...then" and "and", and quantifiers like "all" and "some". Propositional logic examples use letters like p and q to represent simple statements without internal structure. Predicate logic examples assign predicates like "loves" and "crazy" to arguments to represent statements with meaning, like "Loves(John, Mary)". The document explains how to represent quantified statements using predicates, arguments, and quantifiers.
Lot
The document discusses the nature of meaning and thought. It explores where meaning comes from, whether thinking requires language, and how humans and animals think differently or similarly. It examines questions like whether babies and animals can think without human language, how thinking may have evolved, and what the nature of meaning is or whether we can ever truly understand it. The document considers these questions from linguistic, philosophical and psychological perspectives.
Pragmatics ii
This document discusses various aspects of communication and conversation. It defines key concepts like monologues, dialogues, and deixis. It explains Grice's Cooperative Principle and Maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner. While these maxims outline ideal conversational behavior, the document notes we often violate them through implicature to communicate implied meanings and intentions. Overall, the document provides an overview of principles and theories of human communication and conversation.
Ambiguityup
The document discusses various types of ambiguity in language, including lexical, structural, referential, scope, and pragmatic ambiguity. It provides examples to illustrate different ambiguities. Specifically, it examines the structural ambiguity in sentences like "I saw the man with glasses" and "She killed the man with the tie." It also discusses the scope ambiguity in sentences like "Three students baked two cakes" and "Every boy likes a girl." Quantifier scope ambiguity is analyzed using logical formulas with quantifiers like ∀ and ∃. The document questions how such ambiguities are handled in Chomsky's theory of syntax and the idea of syntactic movement. It explores whether meanings are based on simulated actions in the brain. Finally, it raises
Pragmatics 1
This document introduces speech act theory, which holds that when people use language they are not just conveying information but performing actions like commands, promises, threats, etc. It discusses three types of speech acts:
1) Locutionary act - the basic meaning and words alone without context.
2) Illocutionary act - the action performed by an utterance, like a command or promise, which can be implicit or explicit.
3) Perlocutionary act - the effect on the listener, which may be intended or unintended, like actually following a command or feeling insulted.
Truth values are less important than appropriateness - whether an utterance fits the context of the situation

5 complicatedproblems
The document discusses different theories of linguistics that attempt to explain grammar, including transformational grammar, minimalism, and construction grammar. Transformational grammar proposes that words move between deep and surface structures to explain grammaticality, but critics argue that word movements are not plausible and that meaning should not be ignored. Minimalism aims to reduce unnecessary movements, but if all movement is unnecessary, then generative grammar has no means of explanation. Construction grammar and other theories argue that meaning is an inherent part of words and that language is embodied and connected to other cognitive and social factors beyond a specialized language faculty.

This document discusses gerunds, which are verbals that end in "-ing" and function as nouns. There are three types of verbals: gerunds, participles, and infinitives. Gerunds can serve as subjects, direct objects, subject complements, and objects of prepositions. Examples are provided to illustrate gerunds functioning in each of these roles, such as "traveling" as the subject in "Traveling might satisfy your desire for new experiences." The document also discusses gerund phrases, which consist of a gerund plus modifiers, objects, or complements.
Illusion movement
The document discusses the concept of movement in transformational grammar and its alternatives. It questions whether movement is needed if features can percolate up tree structures through structure-sharing as in Unification Grammars. The document argues that structure-sharing through feature matching can account for phenomena like wh- movement that were thought to require actual movement. This poses a challenge for Transformational Grammars and suggests that simpler grammars without movement may be possible.

This document discusses prefixes and suffixes, providing examples of common ones. It explains that prefixes are added to the beginning of words and change the meaning but not the part of speech, while suffixes are added to the end and change the part of speech but not the meaning. Knowing prefixes and suffixes can help with vocabulary, understanding new words, grammar, and writing by learning how word forms are used differently in sentences. The document encourages practicing prefixes and suffixes on the class website.
Affixes
The document discusses strategies for figuring out the meaning of unknown words when reading. It provides examples of using context clues, recognizing similar words, using word parts, and seeing if the word is similar to one in Spanish. The author's strategy is usually just skipping words they don't know because they don't have a big vocabulary.
Greetings & clarification
This document provides greetings, expressions of well-being, farewells, and ways to ask for clarification in both formal and informal contexts in English. It also includes activities to practice spelling, asking questions, and discussing differences between related words in English. Sample tongue twisters are also provided at the end.
Sem9
1. The document discusses theories about what enabled humans to evolve abilities for cooperation, communication, and culture that surpass other animals.
2. A key point made is that cooking food may have played a major role by providing more nutrition in a form requiring less chewing, freeing up time and enabling changes like smaller guts and larger brains.
3. However, some argue that cooperation and basic communication abilities likely evolved earlier, enabling behaviors like hunting and tool-making that then drove further anatomical and cognitive changes over many generations.
Sem8
1) The document discusses differing theories on what makes humans unique from animals and when key human abilities like language emerged.
2) One view is that grammar and language abilities suddenly appeared in humans 50,000 years ago for no reason, through random mutation.
3) However, Mike argues that culture and cooperation were developing over millions of years prior, allowing humans to work together and see from others' perspectives.
Sem7
This document discusses the origins and nature of human language. It describes how the Pirahã tribe's unusual language challenged the view that all languages are fundamentally the same. The story of linguist Dan Everett, who lived with and studied the Pirahã people, suggests that their language lacks concepts like numbers and past/future tenses. Everett concluded that language may have emerged from early human species like Homo erectus using symbolic communication through gestures and sounds, contradicting the view that all languages share a universal grammar.
Sem6 up
The document discusses the origins and nature of language. It explores the relationship between words, grammar, meaning, and thinking. A key point is that Noam Chomsky argues that grammar was present in the human brain before the first words or pictures, and that grammar was necessary for true thinking. The document also examines how the basic concept of "merging" or combining elements is crucial to language and allowed early humans to develop more advanced cognitive abilities.
Sem2 oct42019
The document discusses semantics in linguistics. It explains that semantics is the study of meaning and is a fundamental part of language. Semantics involves analyzing how meaning is derived from words, phrases, grammar, context and other linguistic elements. It also explores how meaning can change over time based on historical and social factors. Overall, the document emphasizes that semantics and the struggle to understand meaning are at the core of language and language learning.
Test Review
The document discusses the components of meaning for words, including phonology, syntax, category, valency, semantics, and frames. It uses the word "horse" as an example, breaking down its phonology (/hɔːs/), syntactic category (noun), valency (determiner), semantic index (X), and frames (<Horse-Frame, Entity X>). The high-level summary is that the document outlines the linguistic components that define a word's meaning, using the word "horse" to demonstrate this breakdown.
Predicate calculus up
This document provides an introduction to propositional and predicate logic by presenting examples of their use in representing linguistic statements and relationships. It discusses how predicate logic uses predicates and quantifiers to represent internal structures and relationships between entities. It also explains how propositional logic and quantifiers can be used to model relationships between sets and make claims about existence and universality. The document suggests that while logic is important in linguistics and computer science, it may not fully capture how humans understand and use language.
Predicate calculus
This document provides an introduction to propositional and predicate logic, including examples of how they can be used to represent linguistic statements in a formal, computable way. Some key points covered include:
- Propositional logic uses simple statements connected with logical operators like "if-then", while predicate logic introduces predicates and variables to represent internal structures.
- Examples show how predicate logic can represent statements about individuals and their properties or relationships using predicates, variables, and quantifiers.
- While logic provides a useful formalism for linguistics and computer science, some argue it may not accurately capture how humans naturally understand and use language. Modern linguistics also explores how language relates to other aspects of human cognition beyond logical representations.
Sentence sem1update
This document discusses sentence semantics and propositional logic. It introduces basic concepts like predicates, arguments, propositions, logical connectives, and quantifiers. Predicates represent relationships between entities, and can take 1, 2, or more arguments. Propositions assign truth values (true/false) to simple statements with no internal structure. Logical connectives like "if...then" and "and" represent logical relationships between propositions. Quantifiers like "all" and "some" indicate whether a predicate applies to all or some members of a set. The document uses many examples to illustrate these logical terms and how they can be used to simplify natural language statements.
Sem6 up
The document discusses language as creation. It provides examples from Hindu myths, the Bible, and Harry Potter that describe words creating entities like the earth, sky, light through speech acts. It also discusses how words can create individuals, objects, situations, and principles. The document questions whether words can truly be considered acts of creation and ponders how language works at a basic level.
Sem6
The document discusses different views on how language can be seen as a form of creation. It provides examples from Hindu myths, the Bible, and fictional statements to illustrate this. Words and sentences are not just symbols but can be considered as creating or representing actual things, individuals, actions, or situations in the mind of the listener or reader. There is a debate around whether and how precisely a word or phrase can be thought of as an object or event in itself.

- The document discusses semantics and how meaning is derived from words, concepts, and objects in the real world. It explores different theories of word meaning, including referential semantics which relates words to objects, and lexical semantics which relates words to other words. The document also discusses semantic fields which group related words together, and componential analysis which breaks down meaning into semantic primitives or features.
Sem4
The document discusses several key concepts in semantics including:
- Word meaning is composed of the sign or word, the thing or concept it refers to in the real world, and the idea of that thing.
- Nouns have an identity index that specifies person, number, and gender. Verbs have a situation index rather than an entity.
- Word meaning is also defined through semantic frames which represent all the aspects and attributes associated with the word's concept.
- Different word categories like nouns and verbs have different types of semantic information that define their meaning including identity/situation indexes and the frames that are part of their concept.
Bare phrasestructure II
The document discusses bare phrase structure and how sentences are analyzed in this framework. It shows that a sentence consists of a verb phrase with an empty valence list, and phrases are built up recursively from lexical items through mergers governed by syntactic rules. Examples of English and Japanese phrases and sentences are broken down into their constituent parts to illustrate bare phrase structure.
Bare phrase structure
The document discusses the principles of bare phrase structure and X-Bar Theory in syntax. It introduces basic syntactic categories and structures like noun phrases, verb phrases, and prepositional phrases. Examples are provided in English and Japanese to illustrate how different languages construct phrases under the same bare phrase structure. The document also includes quiz examples for the reader to practice analyzing phrases based on these syntactic principles.

Merge rec2
This document discusses the ideas of linguist Noam Chomsky and debates around his theory of Universal Grammar. It introduces concepts like merge and recursion, and questions whether these are uniquely features of human language or found in other domains as well. While Chomsky argued language abilities are hardwired, others believe language is more like ordinary thinking and that merge and recursion may appear in other areas like mathematics, nature, or animal communication. The document acknowledges there are different views and that ultimately, more research is needed to fully understand these complex issues.
Ling2 gengram
The document discusses the concept of infinite creativity in language and recursion. It explores the idea that language rules allow for an infinite number of sentences to be generated through recursive embedding of phrases. While this ability seems infinite, the document notes that in practice recursion becomes difficult beyond a certain point due to issues like boredom, confusion or lack of meaning. It then discusses how generative grammar approaches like those of Chomsky analyze the deep structure of language in the brain using rules of syntax, metaphor, and the merging and embedding of phrases. The history of these ideas is traced back thousands of years, but significant modern work began in the 1960s, though many open questions still remain about concepts like Universal Grammar.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
