Any theory of grammar must contain a lexicon, an interface with the mechanisms ofproduction and perception (PF), and an interface with the interpretational system of semantics (LF).A traditional way t
Drawing on ideas from cognitive linguistics, connectionism, and perception, The Human Semantic Potential describes a connectionist model that learns perceptually grounded semantics for natural languag
Ten essays discussing the key themes from Princeton's Paul Benacerraf's philosophy of mathematics revive the philosopher's arguments regarding the semantics of mathematics and their effects on languag
Psychosemantics explores the relation between commonsense psychological theories and problems that are central to semantics and the philosophy of language.
In language study, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics have been considered separate fields. In particular, transformational grammar and government and binding theory focus on the syntax of ph
