Primes

• Compositionality
  • Chomsky (1957) Syntactic Structures (CROSS-DP-22 paradigmatic_vs_syntagmatic) established that context-free syntax can generate natural language structure, an independence claim that underlies the compositionality-via-syntax agenda.

    This sourceEstablishes that formal generative (context-free and transformational) syntax can generate natural-language structure independent of semantics; the independence claim underlying the compositionality-via-syntax agenda (supports D22-234).

• Paradigmatic vs. Syntagmatic Relations
  • Not surface vs. deep structure — that is Chomsky's distinction (Chomsky 1957
• Parsing
  • In linguistics generative grammar hypothesizes that humans parse with an internal grammar, and language acquisition is partly the learning of that grammar.

    This sourceFounds generative grammar: the hypothesis that grammaticality is generated by finite production rules and that humans parse with an internal grammar.

Domain-specific

• Phrase structure rules
  • Phrase structure rules is rewrite rules that expand phrasal categories into ordered constituents to generate or analyze the syntactic structure of sentences.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
