Language as a cognitive process: Volume 1: Syntax
This text deals with the syntactic structure of natural language, adopting the classical linguistic methodology of studying syntax independently. It brings together a variety of syntactic theories within the general framework of cognitive processing. The material assumes some experience with the manipulation of formal symbols either as a programmer, a syntactitian, or a logician. While knowledge of any standard programming language is not a prerequisite, readers will need to have had some exposure to the formal specification of algorithms. Contents: Viewing language as a knowledge-based process. Word patterns and world classes. Context-free grammars and parsing. Transformational grammer. Augmented transition network grammars. Systemic grammar. Computer systems for natural language parsing. Appendices, Index
