Linguistics from a Conceptual Viewpoint (Aspects of Aspects of a Theory of Syntax).

Schank, Roger C.

Some of the assertions made by Chomsky in "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax" are considered. In particular, the notion of a "competence" model in linguistics is criticized. Formal postulates for a conceptually-based linguistic theory are presented. (Author/JD)
