The role of syntax in hashtag popularity

Abstract Research on hashtag popularity presumes hashtag popularity to be correlated with its semantics and lexical clarity, and the popularity of its topic. However, within a single event, hashtags of identical stances can have contrasting popularity; one may attribute this to the assumption that a certain type of hashtag is preferred, but hashtags of identical syntactic format can also have contradictory popularity across events. We theorize that a hashtag’s popularity is heavily impacted by whether there are preexisting popular hashtags of similar syntactic format within the language.

The Domain of Formal Matching in Sluicing

This article is concerned with the role of syntax in the licensing of sluicing in English. It amends and provides new support for a proposal made by Rudin (2019) in which syntax plays a crucial but circumscribed role: crucial in that antecedents are required; circumscribed in that matching with an antecedent holds only with respect to a proper subpart of the elided clause—its argumental core.

A SYNTACTICAL ANALYSIS OF HEADLINE EDUCATION TOPIC NEWS ON THE CNA WEBSITE

Syntax aims to the rules and procedures that are used in certain languages to put together sentences. Learning syntax is essential because it enables us to illustrate the structures of sentences more clearly and efficiently and to look into the structure of English sentences. In reality, many readers and writers have poor comprehension of sentence structure, particularly the structure of sentences written in English. This problem is also encountered by students of English education who are enrolled in classes that cover information related to syntax, as well as by other readers who are not familiar with the role of syntax in sentence structure or how to draw tree diagrams by Noam Chomsky's theory. This study intends to answer the following questions: (1) What various types of sentences on education headline news from the CNA website from January 1–31, 2023 to February 27-2023? (2) How are the sentences in education headline news from the CNA website from January 1–31, 2023 to February 27-2023 generated in tree diagrams? The method of qualitative research known as "descriptive research" was utilized for this study. As a result of this research, The types of sentences that are utilized include simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences.

Analisis Fungsi, Kategori, dan Peran Sintaksis dalam Teks Deskripsi Buku Bahasa Indonesia Kelas VII Kurikulum Merdeka

Syntactic analysis isn’t only used for the use of structural grammar, but also for explaining the relationship or connection between functions, categories, and roles in the syntactic structure to achieve a correct sentence structure. The purpose of this study is to describe the function, structure, and role of syntax in Bahasa Indonesia Kelas VII Kurikulum Merdeka book. This type of research is included in a qualitative approach with a qualitative descriptive design. The method used in this study is the agih method using reading and note-taking techniques, while the method of presenting data using informal data presentation. The data used is the descriptive text from the Bahasa Indonesia Kelas VII Kurikulum Merdeka book. The results of this study found 30 sentences with various sentence patterns from 4 samples of descriptive text with the most frequently found details being S-P-O syntactic functions, noun-verb-noun syntax categories, and actor-activity-target syntactic roles. Through this research it is hoped that it can provide benefits to readers so that they can deepen their knowledge in the field of syntax, and can be used as reference material and references for further research that is in line with this research.

The neurofunctional network of syntactic processing: cognitive systematicity and representational specializations of objects, actions, and events

Theoretical accounts of syntax are broadly divided into lexicalist or construction-based viewpoints, where lexicalist traditions argue that a great deal of syntactic information is stored in lexical representations, while construction-based views argue for separate representations of multiword syntactic structures. Moreover, a strict autonomy between syntactic and semantic processing has been posited based on the grammatical well-formedness of non-sense sentences such as This round table is square. In this paper, we provide an overview of these competing conceptions of syntactic structure and the role of syntax in grammar. We review converging neuroimaging, electrophysiological, behavioral, electrocorticographic, and computational modeling evidence that challenge these views. In particular, we show that a temporal lobe ventral stream is crucial in processing phrases involving nouns and attributive adjectives, while a dorsal stream involving left parietal regions, including the angular gyrus, is crucial in processing constructions involving verbs and relational adjectives. We additionally support this interpretation by examining divergent pathways in the visual system for processing object information and event/spatial information, on the basis of integration across visual and auditory modalities. Our interpretation suggests that combinatorial operations which combine words into phrases cannot be isolated to a single anatomical location, as has been previously proposed—instead, it is an instantiation of a more general neural computation, one that is implemented across various brain regions and can be utilized in service of constructing linguistic phrases. Based on this orientation, we explore how abstract syntactic constructions, such as the transitive construction, both mirror and could emerge from semantics. These abstract construction representations are argued to be distinct from, and stored in regions functionally downstream from, lexical representations of verbs. Comprehension therefore involves the integration of both representations via feedforward and feedback connections. We implicate the IFG in communicating across the language network, including correctly integrating nominal phrases with the overall event representation and serving as one interface between processing streams. Overall, this approach accords more generally with conceptions of the development of cognitive systematicity, and further draws attention to a potential role for the medial temporal lobe in syntactic behaviors, often overlooked in current neurofunctional accounts of syntactic processing.

Fungsi, Kategori, dan Peran Sintaksis Menggunakan Teori RRG dalam Acara “Indonesia Lowyers Club”

The predicate is a determining element in a sentence. Sentences that are not clearly structured, result in the sentence being ineffective. This of course results in incomplete functions, categories, and roles in a sentence, making it difficult to understand. The purpose of this research is to describe functions, categories, and syntactic roles using the theory of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) in the "Indonesia Lowyers Club" event. Distribution method is the main method used to analyze data. Before the data is selected based on its use, the data is recorded first. Furthermore, the data that has been collected is selected based on the needs of the indicators that have been set. The results of the research show that the function in syntax is filled by the components of subject, nucleus (core/predicate), object, and periphery (additional information). Categories in syntax are filled by components of nominal phrases (nouns), verbs (verbs), pronouns (pronouns), adjectives (adjectives), adverbs (adverbs), and clauses. The role in syntax is filled by the component agent (actor), predicate or nucleus indicating activity, and undergoer (patient/object).

The role of syntax in the formation of scale-free language networks

The overall structure of a network is determined by its micro features, which are different in both syntactic and non-syntactic networks. However, the fact that most language networks are small-world and scale-free raises the question: does syntax play a role in forming the scale-free feature? To answer this question, we build syntactic networks and co-occurrence networks to compare the generation mechanisms of nodes, and to investigate whether syntactic and non-syntactic factors have distinct roles. The results show that frequency is the foundation of the scale-free feature, while syntax is beneficial to enhance this feature. This research introduces a microscopic approach, which may shed light on the scale-free feature of language networks.

A Tale of Two Classifier Sets: Aphasia Treatment for a Cantonese Speaker

ABSTRACT Background Word retrieval deficits are common concerns for persons with aphasia (PWA). Treatment approaches can be divided into two processes, namely phonological and semantic, based on models suggesting that word activation consists of activating the semantic representation and phonological form of the target word. The role of syntax, however, has received less attention in models of retrieval and in the treatment of word retrieval deficits. Aims This study investigated whether a fixed noun phrase can support word finding in a PWA. Chinese is a classifier language where a classifier is obligatory in the quantitative noun phrase. The language uses two types of prenominal classifiers: sortal (serves to count individual nouns) and mensural (serves to count the units of nouns) classifiers. Methods & Procedures A Cantonese Chinese speaking PWA (LCH) with marked word retrieval deficits participated in this 15 bi-weekly, 90-minute treatment sessions, which focused on use of classifier cues to aid naming on confrontation naming. Twelve classifiers (6 sortal and 6 mensural) were selected to train target nouns. Target nouns were selected to pair with selected classifiers. Responses to cues were collected during each treatment session, documenting changes over time. Outcomes & Results Leveraging the relationship between target nouns and obligatory prenominal classifiers resulted in the participant’s improved picture naming for trained nouns as well as generalization to select untrained nouns. We report significant differences in the efficacy of sortal versus mensural classifiers to serve as primes for word retrieval. Sortal classifiers were significantly more effective than mensural classifiers, for both cueing trained and untrained target nouns. Conclusions For this speaker of a classifier language, use of classifiers served as viable cues for word retrieval and that sortal classifiers were more effective than mensural classifiers. Though word order does not distinguish between these two types of classifiers, their relative priming efficiency can be observed at the deep structure level. Findings suggest that a morphosyntactic approach to address word retrieval in a Chinese speaker may be beneficial but that great care must be taken in the creation of treatment materials. These factors must be further explored with additional participants and with a wider range of classifiers.

Предисловие главного редактора

A special issue of the journal “Culture and Social Psychology” is presented by the articles reflecting a wide range of problems: from analyzing hypotheses about the role of syntax in the cultural development of proto-sapiens to studying cross-cultural features of the attitude of the Internet users in Russia, the USA and Japan to the economy in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This testifies to the important role of the socio-psychological approach in the study of both the history of the development of human civilization and diversity of cultures in the modern world

The Temporality of Interlinear Translation

This article examines the temporality of interlinear translation through a case study of the rendering of Friedrich Hölderlin’s poetry into Persian. We argue that, in its adherence to the word order of the original, the interlinear crib prioritizes the temporality of the instant (kairos) over the temporality of the linear sequence (chronos). Kairos is made manifest in the literalist translations of Hölderlin by the modernist Iranian translator-poet Bijan Elahi (d. 2010). This inquiry advances our understanding of the role of syntax in constituting literary form and in shaping translation, and exposes the contingency of the translator’s decisions in every given literary juncture.

The transposed-word effect revisited: the role of syntax in word position coding

ABSTRACT Skilled readers may misinterpret “you that read wrong” for “you read that wrong”: a transposed-word effect. This relatively novel finding, which supports parallel word processing during sentence reading, is attributed to a combination of noisy bottom-up word position coding and top-down syntactic constraints. The present study focussed on the contribution of syntactic constraints in driving transposed-word effects. In a speeded grammatical decision experiment, two types of ungrammatical transposed-word sequences were compared, namely a transposition either across a syntactic phrase (“the have girls gone home”) or within a syntactic phrase (“the girls gone have home”). We found longer response times and lower accuracy rates for within-phrase transpositions than across-phrase transpositions, demonstrating a direct influence of syntactic structures on the transposed-word effect. We conclude that the assignment of words to positions in a sentence is guided by top-down syntactic constraints.

The Motivation for Roots in Distributed Morphology

Within Distributed Morphology, it has been proposed that the lexical vocabulary consists of Roots: category-less primitives. The motivation for Roots is connected with a line of argument reaching back to Chomsky's “Remarks on Nominalization” concerning the representation of lexical categories and their role in syntax. At the center of the theory of Roots is the Two Domains Intuition: the idea that there are two different types of domains in which grammatical interactions (form: allomorphy; meaning: allosemy) occur. Roots are posited as part of an argument against lexicalist approaches to the Two Domains Intuition that reduce it to a modular distinction between the lexicon and the syntax. In place of the modular distinction, Root-based approaches hypothesize that domain differences are derivative of syntactic locality effects in a way that connects with the phase theory of Minimalist syntax. This review examines developments leading to current versions of a Roots-and-contexts theory. A particular focus is on the idea that separating lexical Roots from the morphemes that categorize them is essential to defining the distinct locality domains that are posited to explain the effects subsumed under the Two Domains Intuition.

Markov dependencies in the song syntax of Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus)

The sequences in which songbirds deliver their songs may help serve song’s primary functions related to territorial defense and mate attraction but determining that requires a clear understanding of the syntax of the species in question. Hermit Thrush (Catharus guttatus) males sing with a degree of predictability, cycling up and down the frequency spectrum with immediate variety. The present work used two complementary approaches to better understand Hermit Thrush song syntax by investigating the degree to which song type choice relies upon the identity of preceding songs within large (> 1000) song sets from 12 males. In one analysis, Fisher’s tests were used to assess whether the song immediately before the next song—or two, three, or four spots before it—influenced the next song. Results indicated that the next song is influenced by both the previous song and the one before it, and less so by those three or four songs back. In addition, simulated sequences were generated that reflect Markov models from zero-order (the next song depends on no preceding songs) through fourth-order (it depends on the previous four songs), and then compared back to the bird’s observed song sequence. This analysis revealed that naturally occurring sequences are best described by second-order Markov models, indicating a reliance upon the previous two songs. Together, the results indicate that Hermit Thrush song sequences are determined mainly by preceding two songs. Future work will further explore the presence of higher level dependencies, along with the role of syntax in territorial defense and aggression.

Syntactic cueing of spoken naming in jargon aphasia

ABSTRACT Background: Debate surrounds the relationships between the systems involved in spoken word production, the activation governing production, and the role of syntax in production. Jargon aphasia provides an opportunity to investigate the relationship between syntax and phonology as it often involves retained syntax, alongside phonological deficits shown through neologistic output. Models of spoken word production differ in terms of their accounts of the processing relationships between these two levels of representation, and the degree to which syntax is activated and affects phonology. Aims: We aimed to complete a single case study investigation of the impact of syntactic cues on spoken word production, and to compare data from this implicit task with data from an explicit syntax judgement task. The investigation aims to shed light on different theories of spoken word production, provide new evidence concerning the nature of the deficit in jargon aphasia, and identify potential intervention methods. Methods & Procedures: The participant DP presented with transcortical sensory aphasia, with fluent neologistic output, a comprehension deficit, anomia, and preserved repetition. The investigations into DP’s noun syntax processing included syntactic cueing of naming, and a syntactic judgement task. The cueing task compared cued and uncued naming, where cues provided syntactic information relevant to count or mass noun targets. The judgement task investigated DP’s knowledge of potential determiner plus noun combinations. Outcomes and results: Syntactic cues led to increased overall naming accuracy, increased numbers of nouns, more phonologically related errors, and fewer unrelated word errors. The cues had no effect on the proportion of lexical versus non-lexical responses, nor on rates of semantic errors. In contrast to the positive impact of cues, DP showed limited knowledge of the meanings of determiners via the explicit judgement task. Conclusions: The evidence supports a spoken word production theory that has feedforward only activation from the syntactic to the semantic level, but allows interaction between syntactic and phonological representations. This account explains the lack of semantic errors, and the increase in phonologically related errors in the cued condition. DP’s difficulties completing the explicit judgement task provide more evidence of the need for online tasks which address language processing directly. New evidence of positive effects of syntactic cues on word retrieval informs future interventions for speakers with jargon aphasia.

The Cortical Organization of Syntax.

Syntax, the structure of sentences, enables humans to express an infinite range of meanings through finite means. The neurobiology of syntax has been intensely studied but with little consensus. Two main candidate regions have been identified: the posterior inferior frontal gyrus (pIFG) and the posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG). Integrating research in linguistics, psycholinguistics, and neuroscience, we propose a neuroanatomical framework for syntax that attributes distinct syntactic computations to these regions in a unified model. The key theoretical advances are adopting a modern lexicalized view of syntax in which the lexicon and syntactic rules are intertwined, and recognizing a computational asymmetry in the role of syntax during comprehension and production. Our model postulates a hierarchical lexical-syntactic function to the pMTG, which interconnects previously identified speech perception and conceptual-semantic systems in the temporal and inferior parietal lobes, crucial for both sentence production and comprehension. These relational hierarchies are transformed via the pIFG into morpho-syntactic sequences, primarily tied to production. We show how this architecture provides a better account of the full range of data and is consistent with recent proposals regarding the organization of phonological processes in the brain.
