 | | Note: The author makes the claim that agreement is not a redundant feature-copying morphosyntactic phenomenon, but that it is a non-directional feature-merging phenomenon in which information distributed throughout the sentence is unified. | | | Note: The author discusses three hypotheses of agreement systems arising from approaches to the nature of the verbal affix in pro drop languages: the agreement hypothesis, the incorporation hypothesis and the non-pronominal theory. | | | There is a good deal of material on agreement in the Slavonic languages which is given a separate section (D). |

| | Students who combine linguistics with the study of a language have gone on to teach languages and work as translators. | | | Have you ever noticed that you can use a contraction in a sentence like "I wonder who he's meeting," but not "I wonder who he's?" In syntax you'll study the rules that explain the construction of sentences in English and other languages. | | | Linguistics is the scientific study of how human language works and what this tells us about the human mind. |

| | In fact, it has been a firm principle of mainstream linguistics for many years that the proper object of study is a single sentence in isolation, stripped of its context, its purpose, and its audience. | | | This is because mainstream linguistics does not really deal with language in its entirety. | | | My second colleague and Barker Lecturer, Cheryl Brown, argued for the importance of words over grammar. |

| | The first meaning of the term syntax can be described as the study of the rules, or "patterned relations" that govern the way the words in a sentence come together. | | | This process, called parsing, is in some respects analogous to syntactic analysis in linguistics; in fact, certain concepts, such as the Chomsky hierarchy and context-free grammars, are common to the study of syntax in both linguistics and computer science. | | | The analysis of programming language syntax usually entails the transformation of a linear sequence of tokens (a token is akin to an individual word or punctuation mark in a natural language) into a hierarchical syntax tree (abstract syntax trees are one convenient form of syntax tree). |

| | THE NATURAL ORIGIN OF LANGUAGE: COMPARATIVE APPLICATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS |
| | First of all, there is some comment on the general aspects of comparative linguistics as they relate to the hypothesis considered here, and then, in separate sections, the comparative application (in terms of other languages) of what has been said in the previous chapters about speech-sounds, word-forms and the problems of the sentence. | | | But beyond this kind of generality (in some respects open to question) comparative linguistics does not take us very far; languages are compared in vocabulary and type, resemblances noted as derived from various sources (historic connections, inheritance and borrowing, analytic artefacts, modelling of syntax on classical forms, possible language universals and mere chance). | | | Traditionally, comparative linguistics concentrated almost wholly on the classical languages (with some extension to cover Sanskrit and the Semitic languages) and was concerned with the very fine detail of changes in sound and form within and between a limited number of related languages, especially in the Indo-European group. |
