SYNTACTIC CATEGORIES ANDCONSTITUENT STRUCTURE

SYNTACTIC CATEGORIES ANDCONSTITUENT STRUCTURE

1. It is the combination of words into phrases and sentences, and the internal structure of phrases and sentences

   • Morphological productivity and metal lexicon
     • Mental lexicon: contains information on a word
       • sounds, meaning,morphological combinatorics, syntactic combinatorics.
   • The dual route model
     • interpret the words to sound, understanding complex words
   • Syntactic categories
     • 1. The type of meaning it expresses.2. The type of affixes it takes.3. The structure in which it occurs.
       • Nouns, Verb, Adjectives, adverbs, preposition, deteminers, pronouns,conjunctions
         • Nouns: denotes an object
         • Verb: structural criteria

         • Determiner: decides something.
   • Syntactic constituency
     • is a word or a group of words that functions as a single unit within a hierarchical structure. The analysis of constituent structure is associated mainly with phrase structure grammars,
       • EX: two cars were stolen by the groveton police yesterday.
       • Somes sequencesof wordsin a sentnce belong together
   • Syntax
     • is the branch of linguistics deals with sentence structure.
   • Word classes
     • Are the syntactic building blocks of sentence.
   • sintactic rules
     • The division between syntax and morphology varies across languages.
   • Diagrams
     • is used in linguistics (especially computational linguistics), where sentences are parsed.
