A Paradigm Change for Formal Syntax: Computational Algorithms in the Grammar of English
What it is about
The paper argues that formal syntax should be replaced by process-based, algorithmic descriptions, and it tests this on English. Its central claim is that the combination of a function word (FW) and a content word (CW), such as "the dog" or "has eaten", is the basic building block of phrases and clauses, and that this combination works like an object-oriented interface (the FW, always visible and fixed) with an implementation (the CW, which varies). The paper derives three functional features from that model and checks them against descriptive grammars: a rigid order with the FW first (the FW is on the left of the CW and of its complements, and the pair resists movement); the constant-versus-variable split (FWs are a closed class, the CW is open); and the role of the pair in the development of syntax and its loss in aphasia and Alzheimer's disease, where function vocabulary goes with syntax and content vocabulary does not. No corpus counts are given; the evidence is descriptive grammars, cross-linguistic surveys (Bakker 1997 on 137 languages), and the psycholinguistic literature the paper cites.
Ideas
- I1. A frozen-order table for FW-CW pairs in
en/src/lin.rs: determiner before noun, auxiliary before verb, preposition before its object, with the paper's list of pairs that resist movement as the rule set. Measure, on UD EWT dev, the share of such pairs that keep the FW on the left, and report the exceptions with their reasons. - I2. A function-word ablation as a negative control for the parser: remove the FWs from the input and from the input with the CWs removed, and compare the LAS drop. The paper predicts that the loss of FWs hurts syntax more than the loss of CWs. Run it through
en parse-evaland keep the numbers indocs/. - I3. For the school curriculum (
worldand the primary lessons), order the FW-CW patterns by the paper's developmental claim: the patterns that predict syntactic development should come first in the lesson sequence. Measure the test scores of the student on the lesson pattern sets in that order and in the reverse order. - I4. Keep the closed-class list as a closed table in
en/src/morph.rsoren/src/dict.rs, and check at build time that every word in it is tagged as a function word. The paper's point that FWs are a closed class makes this a clean test.
For Mova
The chapters are 12. Pronouns, determiners and numerals (determiners before nouns), 22. Phrases: noun, adjective, adverb and prepositional phrases (the phrase as FW plus CW), 13. Verbs with the auxiliaries in the same chapter, and 10. Word classes (the closed and open classes). The code is en/src/lin.rs for word order, en/src/udreg.rs for the function-word features, en/src/dict.rs for the closed list, and en parse-eval for the ablation. The measures are the order-preservation rate on UD EWT dev and the LAS drop with function words removed compared with content words removed, run twice to confirm it is identical.
