LECTURE 7: SYNTAX. BASIC SYNTACTIC NOTIONS. 1.General characteristics of syntax. The grammatical structure of language comprises two major parts – morphology and syntax. The two areas are obviously interdependent and together they constitute the study of grammar. Morphology deals with paradigmatic and syntagmatic properties of morphological units – morphemes and words. It is concerned with the internal structure of words and their relationship to other words and word forms within the paradigm

Why is Syntax Important? Syntax is the grammatical tool that deals with how sentences are put together and the relationship between words. It is a very methodical and logical sequence‚ ensuring that sentences are put together using subject‚ verb and object and that the words in the sentence all have agreement‚ so that the correct forms of words are used. Without syntax to structure the language‚ it would simply be a string of words that makes no sense. For example‚ correct syntax would state

interpretation or understanding of programs and how to predict the outcome of program execution. The semantics of a programming language describe the relation between the syntax and the model of computation. Semantics can be thought of as a function which maps syntactical constructs to the computational model. This approach is called syntax-directed semantics There are several widely used techniques ( algebraic‚ axiomatic‚ denotational‚ operational‚ and translation) for the description of the semantics

Petrushevskaya’s “The Time is Night” each contain several instances where this literary technique is used. Through analyzing the usage of parenthetical interjections within each piece it is possible to see why narrators choose to introduce comments using parentheses. The narrator of Lispector’s The Hour of the Star‚ Rodrigo S.M.‚ disturbs his tale with parenthetical

Syntax and Parsing Anoop Sarkar School of Computing Science‚ Simon Fraser University‚ Canada. E-mail: anoop@cs.sfu.ca Abstract Parsing uncovers the hidden structure of linguistic input. In many applications involving natural language‚ the underlying predicate-argument structure of sentences can be useful. The syntactic analysis of language provides a means to explicitly discover the various predicate-argument dependencies that may exist in a sentence. In natural language processing‚ the
