Abstract:
Ohmann’s (1964) transformational manipulations support the School of Linguistic Stylistics that sees style as choice and asserts that choice, a tool in Linguistic Stylistics, is related to performance rather than competence. Consequently, this study explores Transformational Generative Grammar (TGG) Approach to Linguistic Stylistic Analysis of texts as it focuses on Ohmann’s identified transformational manipulations; reordering, combination, addition and deletion in “Black laughter”, culled from Raji-Oyelade’s (1997) collection of poems, a Harvest of Laughters, purposively selected as the text

Abstract:
The theoretical debate in linguistics during the past half-century bears an uncanny parallel to the politics of the (now defunct) Communist Bloc. The parallels are not so much in the revolutionary nature of Chomsky's ideas as in the Bolshevik manner of his takeover of linguistics (Koerner 1994) and in the Trotskyist (“permanent revolution”) flavor of the subsequent development of the doctrine of Transformational Generative Grammar (TGG) (Townsend & Bever 2001, pp. 37–40). By those standards, Jackendoff is quite a party faithful (a Khrushchev or a Dubcek, rather than a Solzhenitsyn or a Sak

This paper investigates the syntactic transformation in Large Language Models (LLMs) using Chomsky’s Transformational Generative Grammar Theory (TGG) as a tool of examination. The current paper focuses on the textual analysis of LLMs-generated text to examine the incapability of innateness and high-tech plagiarized content. The analysis of the generated responses of LLMs shows the inability to generate human-like text and the possibility of plagiarized content. It further highlights the limitations and ethical considerations surrounding the use of LLMs-generated text in academia necessitating

Subtitling is a discipline within the Audiovisual Translation (AVT) field that requires some special techniques and strategies to channel the information from a multichannel and polisemiotic document into a written text within the screen.

In the American scientific context of the 1950s, the confluence of information theory and behavioristic views seemed to hold the promise of a truly interdisciplinary psycholinguistics. However, the prospects opened up by this confluence were soon ruined by the advent of transformational grammar (TG). For reasons detailed in this paper, such was the attraction of TG that it became the nearly exclusive source of psychological hypotheses on linguistic processing. Correlating transformational complexity with measures of performance, such as response times, set the new methodological trend. Problem

Abstract:
In 1964, American language educator Kellogg W. Hunt (1912–1998) proposed that the average length of what he called the ‘T-unit’ in a text could quantify its syntactic complexity. Hunt defined a T-unit as a main clause plus any modifiers or subordinated material. His research showed that average T-units increased incrementally with age in texts written by students in grades 4, 8, 12, and adult writers. Capitalizing on a mid-century vogue for linguistics, Hunt interpreted this finding in the idiom of 1960s transformational-generative grammar as indicating that writers gradually learn to impose s

Abstract The chapter begins by outlining the major features of Chomsky and Halle’s transformational generative grammar (TGG) in the 1950s. It discusses whether one can speak of a ‘Chomskyan revolution in the field’. The conclusion is that the vagueness of the concept of ‘scientific revolution’ means that the question will never be answered to everyone’s satisfaction. However it is not hard to pinpoint the two most original features of early TGG: the generative rules’ provision of a structural representation for every sentence generated and for the theory’s rejection of the structuralist phonem

Abstract This chapter surveys how linguists in each European country greeted the advent of TGG in the 1960s and 1970s. There is no overarching generalization—the situation differed from country to country. A partial generalization, however, is that the stronger a home-grown structuralist tradition in a country, the less likely the linguists there would be to accept TGG. So the theory made few inroads in Czechoslovakia and Denmark, given the predominance of the Prague School and the Copenhagen School respectively, but did quite well in the Netherlands and Norway, where no indigenous approach wa

Generative Semantics looked like a natural extension of Transformational Grammar, rooting itself in the semantic subsoil of Deep Structure and aligning closely with Universal Grammar.
