Functions of Lexical and Non-Lexical Meaning in Competence/Performance

Scinto, Leonard F., Jr.

Linguistics, 179, 19-53, Sep 19 1976

This paper attempts to demonstrate that: (a) syntax is dependent on factors of cognitive and non-cognitive meaning; and (b) criteria for linguistic competence can only be fully met when full command of cognitive and non-cognitive meaning is present. Results have implications for future models of language and language acquisition. (CHK)
