The document discusses the differences between phrases and clauses, with phrases being fragments containing more than one word that lack a subject and predicate, while clauses are larger fragments that can form a complete sentence. It also examines independent clauses that can stand alone versus dependent or subordinate clauses that cannot. The document analyzes examples of subordinate clauses and their function as complements or adverbials in complex sentences.Syntax

The document is a PowerPoint presentation on syntax that covers:
- Syntax is the study of how sentences are constructed in languages.
- Generative grammar models the inner language of the human mind.
- Sentences have deep and surface structures that can differ through transformations like passivization.
- Syntactic analysis uses symbols like arrows and brackets in rules and tree diagrams.
- Phrase structure and lexical rules specify constituents and words.
- Trees and recursion show hierarchical sentence structures embedded within other sentences.
- Transformational rules can move constituents in a sentence's structure.2)linear select memory organization
2)linear select memory organizationrezaman2012
?
This document describes the organization and operation of a linear select memory. It consists of basic memory cells made up of flip-flops with control circuitry. The memory cells are arranged in rows and columns and selected by a memory address register and decoder. During a read, the selected memory cells output their stored data. During a write, input data is written into the selected memory cells. While this allows storing data in multiple memory locations, the complexity of the memory cells and large decoder required for large memories is disadvantageous.Quantifiers (part 1)
Quantifiers (part 1)zouhirgabsi
?
Quantifiers denote relations between sets rather than individuals. Words like "all", "some", and "none" are quantifiers that claim a relation between two sets, similar to how lexical relations relate the meanings of words. Quantifiers make statements about how sets in the world are related, unlike lexical relations which are less informative as they just relate word meanings. The first step is to treat quantifiers as denoting a relation between two sets.Syntax Cpart 2

This document discusses syntactic categories and constituent structure. It defines common parts of speech like nouns, verbs, adjectives. It notes that nouns can denote activities, events, states and properties, not just people, places and things. Morphology and distribution provide more reliable evidence for categories than semantics alone. The document then discusses analyzing sentences into constituents like NP and V NP. It provides tests for constituents like proform replacement and question tests. Finally it discusses noun phrase functions like subject, direct object, and predicative complement.Quantifier part 2

This document discusses numerals and quantifiers in terms of sets and relations. It explains that numerals, like quantifiers, denote relations between sets rather than statements about words. When used with quantifiers, one set establishes the domain being referred to as the restriction, while the other set is the main predicate called the scope. For sentences with quantifiers, the restriction set identifies the entities being discussed, while the scope set is what the quantifier relates the restriction set to.ѧ۳Գٲ

This document summarizes a lecture on syntax and sentence structure. Some key points:
- Speakers of any language can produce and understand an infinite number of sentences through the combination of discrete units according to syntactic rules.
- Syntactic rules specify the correct word order and grammatical relations in a sentence. They also account for structural and lexical ambiguities.
- Grammaticality is determined by syntactic rules and is not based on meaningfulness, truth, or real-world referents.
- Sentences have a hierarchical structure composed of constituents, which are natural groupings of words that can be tested through techniques like pronominalization, passivization, cleft sentences, etc.Syntax1

This document discusses syntax and sentence structure. It introduces the concepts of linear structure versus hierarchical structure in sentences and how ambiguity can arise. It explains that children learn syntax by detecting patterns in the language they hear. Native speakers have implicit knowledge of grammaticality, implied meanings, ambiguity, and synonyms. Word order differs across languages, following patterns like subject-verb-object or subject-object-verb. Sentences have hierarchical phrase structures in addition to linear word order. Constituency tests can help determine the hierarchical grouping of words in a sentence.Syntax powerpoint

Syntax is the study of sentence structure. It examines the categories of words like lexical categories of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and functional categories. Phrases are syntactic units formed by combining words headed by a specific category. There are noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, and prepositional phrases. Clauses include a verb and accompanying elements. A sentence is the largest independent syntactic unit. Sentences can be coordinated or subordinated and have different structures.Analysis of the source program

The document discusses the three phases of analysis in compiling a source program:
1) Linear analysis involves grouping characters into tokens with collective meanings like identifiers and operators.
2) Hierarchical analysis groups tokens into nested structures with collective meanings like expressions, represented by parse trees.
3) Semantic analysis checks that program components fit together meaningfully through type checking and ensuring operators have permitted operand types.How to analyse sentences

The document provides instructions for analyzing sentences by identifying their key elements:
1. Identify the verb(s) in the sentence which may be single or multiple verbs joined together.
2. Identify the subject which can take different forms such as nouns, pronouns, clauses.
3. Identify the object(s) which can be direct, indirect, or oblique and take different noun forms.
4. Identify other elements like subject/object complements and adverbials of time, place, manner. The document outlines a step-by-step process to analyze examples and identify each sentence element.Linguistics -Syntax

This document discusses syntax and sentence structure. It defines syntax as the rules of sentence formation and the component of grammar that represents a speaker's knowledge of phrase and sentence structure. It discusses constituents, phrase structure rules, syntactic categories, and phrase structure trees. Phrase structure trees are used to represent the hierarchical structure of sentences and show constituent structures and syntactic categories. The document notes that language has an infinite quality, as sentences can always be lengthened through the addition of modifiers. It provides examples of phrase structure trees and tests to identify verbs phrases and noun phrases.Introduction to syntax

Logic deals with meanings in a language system rather than actual behavior. A proposition is the meaning of a declarative sentence describing a state of affairs. While logic provides rules for calculations, rational behavior involves goals, assumptions, knowledge, and calculations to achieve goals. Logic is one factor in rational behavior but does not equate to it. Analytical sentences express necessary logical truths, while contradictions express inconsistent statements. Simple propositions represent predicators in capital letters and arguments in lowercase.Presupposition lecture

The document discusses the concept of presupposition in language. It defines presupposition as a type of inference closely linked to the meaning of an utterance. Presuppositions are assumptions that are taken for granted in an utterance, rather than being directly stated. The document provides examples of utterances and analyzes what they presuppose rather than directly assert. It also discusses different types of presuppositions like strong versus weak presuppositions signaled by articles, possessives, and existential claims.Semantics Cweek 10

This document discusses different types of meaning relations between words and sentences: paraphrase, contradiction, and implication. It then defines four types of antonyms: binary antonyms, relational antonyms, complementary antonyms, and converses. Binary antonyms are pairs that exhaust all possibilities, like true/false. Relational antonyms describe reversed relationships, like buy/sell. The document provides examples and exercises to distinguish between these types of antonyms. It concludes by introducing semantic networks, where related words are organized under superordinate terms like different body parts under "body parts".Syntax (Part 1)

This document discusses syntax, which is the study of the structure of phrases and sentences. It addresses two key principles of sentence organization: linear order and hierarchical structure. Linear order refers to the specific sequence of words that determine a sentence's grammaticality and meaning. Hierarchical structure refers to the way words are organized into nested constituent groupings within a sentence, with the smallest constituents being individual words and the largest being the sentence itself. Tree diagrams can be used to represent a sentence's syntactic structure and constituent relationships.Semantics things and events -week 10(part 1))

This document discusses the differences between stative and eventive predicates in language. Stative predicates describe states, either permanent intrinsic properties or temporary phases, and are like a still photograph. Eventive predicates describe events and represent a change from one state to another. Specifically, it notes that "gold" is conceptualized as a substance and can take different syntactic forms like "some golds", while "ring" refers to individual items and sounds odd in forms like "some ring". It also provides examples of stative predicates like "asleep" and "angry" versus eventive predicates that describe events like "died" and "coughed".Week 7 Cmorphology (part 5)
