Generative syntax | Syntactic transformation

Logical form (linguistics)

In generative grammar and related approaches, the logical form (LF) of a linguistic expression is the variant of its syntactic structure which undergoes semantic interpretation. It is distinguished from phonetic form, the structure which corresponds to a sentence's pronunciation. These separate representations are postulated in order to explain the ways in which an expression's meaning can be partially independent of its pronunciation, e.g. scope ambiguities. LF is the cornerstone of the classic generative view of the syntax-semantics interface. However, it is not used in Lexical Functional Grammar and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, as well as some modern variants of the generative approach. (Wikipedia).

Intro to Logical Statements

We begin our exploration into logic by analyzing LOGICAL STATEMENTS: 1) Define what a logical statement is 2) Recognize examples as logical statements or not logical statements 3) Use the symbols for "not", "and", and "or". 4) Break down a sentence into its logical structure. **********

Early Philosophical Thought (East Asia and India)

Philosophy has its roots all over the world, and although the best preserved documents are from the Western world, which is why this topic is so frequently studied from a Western perspective, there are a number of Eastern thinkers that are very much worth discussing. Let's visit Egypt, Ira

Scope Ambiguity - Semantics in Linguistics

We take a look at Scope Ambiguity in this #semantics and #syntax video in #linguistics. We look at logical form to see how we can represent this in a tree structure to get two meanings. We also look at a little trick of translating predicate logic sentences with more than one quantifier.
