In this presentation of the universal aspects of human language as a cognitive phenomenon, they rationally reconstruct syntactic structure. In the process, they touch upon structure dependency and its consequences for learnability, nuanced arguments (including global ones) for structure presupposed in standard linguistic analyses, and a formalism to capture long-range correlations. For practitioners, the authors assess whether “all we need is Merge,” while for outsiders, they summarize what needs to be covered when attempting to have structure “emerge.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReconstructing the essential history of what is at stake when arguing for sentence scaffolding,","brand":"MIT Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48733476913495,"sku":"9780262544542","price":38.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/structure-concepts-consequences-interactions-9780262544542","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
