Progress in understanding cognition requires a quantitative, theoretical framework,
grounded in the other natural sciences and able to bridge between implementational …

Scaling large language models (LLMs) leads to an emergent capacity to learn in-context
from example demonstrations. Despite progress, theoretical understanding of this …

This book covers topics in formal linguistics, intonational phonology, computational
linguistics, and experimental psycholinguistics, presenting them as an integrated theory of …

The Handbook of Natural Language Processing, Second Edition presents practical tools
and techniques for implementing natural language processing in computer systems. Along …

This book is at the very heart of linguistics. It provides the theoretical and methodological
framework needed to create a successful linguistic project. Potential applications of …

A basic idea of the transformational tradition is that constituents move. More recently, there
has been a trend towards the view that all features are lexical features. And in recent …

Categorial Grammar (CG; Ajdukiewicz 1935; Bar-Hillel 1953) is one of the oldest lexicalized
grammar formalisms, in which all grammatical constituents are distinguished by a syntactic …

This unique contribution to the ongoing discussion of language acquisition considers the
Argument from the Poverty of the Stimulus in language learning in the context of the wider …

Given that context-free grammars (CFG) cannot adequately describe natural languages,
grammar formalisms beyond CFG that are still computationally tractable are of central …

While research in the 'principles and parameters' tradition can be regarded as attributing as
much as possible to universal grammar (UG) in order to understand how language …
