Mastering this grammar requires keeping track of an arbitrary number of centre-embedded long-distance dependencies (the first element must be matched with the last element, etc). This can be done only if the system possesses a formal equivalent of a push-down stack, allowing it to retrieve ...
it is a dramatic introduction, drawing our attention to an idea that is clearly going to be central to the poem’s meaning. The poet’s implicit repetition is a signpost that we need to pay particular attention to this. On first reading, we inevitablyinterpret...
If the double dissociation is questionable, it cannot be used to point towards the genetic autonomy of language (notwithstanding that we should exercise caution about drawing wide ranging conclusions from a single study). Indeed, there are additional studies that have found some linguistic impairments...

The current study uses principles from Cognitive Grammar to better account for the symbolic integration of gesture and speech. Drawing on data collected from language use, we examine the use of two attention-directing strategies that are expressed throug

Conclusions and future work This paper introduced Structure Synth and described its heritage from Chomsky's grammars and the Context Free Design Grammar by Chris Coyne. It has been argued (but not formally proved) that these systems are closely related to stochastic context-free bracketed Lindenmayer...

For a man with a silly supervillain name, Doctor Doom has become a multi-layered, wildly complex figure in the Marvel universe. Sure, he’s definitely a bad guy, but his motivations don’t come from desire for power, riches, or control. Those just happen to be perks. Nope, Doom knows...
