Document Summary

Syntax: the part of the grammar that contains the rules that speakers follow when they combine words with each other to form larger linguistic units (expressions). Recursive and non-recursive rules: some syntactic rules are recursive while some are (cid:28673)(cid:28674)(cid:28679). (cid:28647)(cid:28674) (cid:28661)(cid:28664) (cid:28677)(cid:28664)(cid:28662)(cid:28680)(cid:28677)(cid:28678)(cid:28668)(cid:28681)(cid:28664), (cid:28679)(cid:28660)(cid:28670)(cid:28664) (cid:28660) (cid:28677)(cid:28680)(cid:28671)(cid:28664)"(cid:28678) (cid:28674)(cid:28680)(cid:28679)(cid:28675)(cid:28680)(cid:28679) (cid:28660)(cid:28673)(cid:28663) (cid:28677)(cid:28664)-apply this rule. ; here the input is the (cid:28705)article(cid:28706) and the (cid:28705)noun(cid:28706), while the np is the output. This rule is not recursive, because the output is a noun phrase (np), but there is no. Np-np and np: the man and the woman. This rule is recursive, because the output can serve as input. (cid:28635)(cid:28664)(cid:28677)(cid:28664), (cid:28679)(cid:28667)(cid:28664) (cid:28668)(cid:28673)(cid:28675)(cid:28680)(cid:28679) (cid:28668)(cid:28678) (cid:28705)(cid:28679)(cid:28667)(cid:28664) (cid:28672)(cid:28660)(cid:28673)(cid:28706), (cid:28705)(cid:28660)(cid:28673)(cid:28663)(cid:28706), (cid:28705)(cid:28679)(cid:28667)(cid:28664) (cid:28682)(cid:28674)(cid:28672)(cid:28660)(cid:28673)(cid:28706)(cid:28622) (cid:28682)(cid:28667)(cid:28668)(cid:28671)(cid:28664) (cid:28679)(cid:28667)(cid:28664) (cid:28674)(cid:28680)(cid:28679)(cid:28675)(cid:28680)(cid:28679) (cid:28668)(cid:28678) (cid:28705)(cid:28679)(cid:28667)(cid:28664) (cid:28672)(cid:28660)(cid:28673) (cid:28660)(cid:28673)(cid:28663) (cid:28679)(cid:28667)(cid:28664) (cid:28682)(cid:28674)(cid:28672)(cid:28660)(cid:28673)(cid:28706). Np-a np: old cats. (a=adjective, a plural form is also an np). This rule is recursive, because the output can serve as input. Such as: smart old cats, big smart old cats, etc.
