		Linguists often divide the study of language into a number of separate areas, to be studied more or less independently.
		Most cognitive linguists, for example, would probably find the categories "semantics" and "pragmatics" to be arbitrary, and nearly all linguists would agree that the divisions overlap considerably.
		Linguists can be broadly divided into those that study language at a particular point in time (usually the present) and those that study how language changes through time, sometimes over centuries.

		Broadly conceived, linguistics is the study of human language and a linguist is someone who engages in this study.
		Linguistic inquiry is pursued by a wide variety of specialists, who may not all be in harmonious agreement; as Russ Rymer[?] flamboyantly puts it
		Linguistics is arguably the most hotly contested property in the academic realm.

	Agreement (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In languages, agreement is a form of cross-reference between different parts of a sentence or phrase.
		Agreement happens when one word changes in form depending on which other words it is being related to.
		Languages can have no agreement whatsoever, as in Japanese; barely any, as in English; a small amount, as in spoken French; a moderate amount, as in Greek or Latin; or a large amount, as in Hungarian.

		Linguists have proposed a variety of 'resolution rules' to explain how number, gender, person or case agreement is determined where more than one controller is present.
		In the case of gender, agreement by proximity appears to favour equally the masculine and the feminine.
		Linguistically, the order of NPs is important only to the extent that it places a particular NP closer to the agreeing VP.

	Agreement Biblio Home Page
		The two types of agreement relations are âMorphosyntactic Identificationâ found in NP-internal configurations, where the infl value of the functor is structure-shared with the infl value of the argument, and âIndex Identificationâ found in subject-predicate agreement, which is the idenfication of the index which is the value of some role in the content of verbs.
		Note: Agreement is widely considered to be the prime example of a relation based on linguistic form in which the morphosyntactic specification of one category, such as a subject noun phrase, is redundantly expressed on a separate category such as a verb.
		Thus the presence of agreement with a direct object implies that the entity is less marked, while case marking is associated with the lower end of the case hierarchy, so the presence of case marking on a direct object implies that the entity is more marked.

	Structural Linguistics
		Instead of studying a language from a historical perspective, structural linguists stressed studying the language of the people that was currently being spoken in the speech community, not the speech patterns that occurred in times past.
		Structural linguists also believed that the linguistic behaviors of the members of a speech community were based on orderly structures that each member of the community shared.
		Some structural linguists were able to discover structures and patterns in English which were buried in the language and were not previously noticed due to their lack of similarity to Latin.

	CiteULike: Topic, Pronoun, and Agreement in Chichewa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In grammatical agreement, a NP bears an argument relation to the verb, while the verbal affix expresses redundantly the person, number, and gender class of the NP.
		In anaphoric agreement, the verbal affix is an incorporated pronominal argument of the verb, and the coreferential NP has a non-argument function-either as an adjunct of the pronominal argument, or as a topic or focus of the clause or discourse structure.
		The minimal difference between an incorporated pronoun and a grammatical agreement marker is the presence or absence of a semantic attribute in the lexical content of the affix.

		Agreement in language relates to the correspondence between words in a sentence, in terms of gender, case, person, or number.
		Patterns of agreement vary dramatically cross-linguistically, with great diversity in the way it is expressed and the types of variation permitted.
		It shows how agreement is influenced by the conflicting effects of sentence structure and meaning, and highlights the oddities of agreement in English.

		I'm not as implacable a foe of Chomskyan linguistics as I once was; in large part I've moderated my opinions because I've realized how little I really "get" syntax and therefore how much I have to rely on the arguments of others to understand what both the generativists and their opponents are saying.
		As per the post about Arabic Partial Agreement, Arabic is known to be standardly VSO with an SVO variant which exhibits a different agreement pattern.
		The problem with this particular agreement pattern is noted in previous entries, is that in a minimalist account of the data Move and Agree are separate operations.

	UT-Austin Linguistics Courses: Graduate
		Among the topics to be considered are Chomskyís discussion of the problem of language acquisition, the biological basis of language acquisition, infant speech perception, the relationship between language acquisition and the linguistic input to the child, research methods in language acquisition, the acquisition of American Sign Language, and the childís representation of grammatical categories.
		For linguistics, such a framework raises the crucial issue of the limits of grammatical knowledge and competence, as against a more general competence for poetics and discourse.
		This course investigates the possible syntactic representations of Tense, Agreement and Aspect in such languages and considers the way the agreement relation is expressed in the absence of morphological properties.

		Extensionally, all of the mainstream linguistic theories concentrate on picking out the set of grammatical, or well-formed structures (sounds, words or phrases, for instance) in a language.
		By the late 1970s, in the Government-Binding Theory (Chomsky 1980) [218 Linguistics], the role of constraints on transformations had grown to the point where the transformations themselves were of the general form "move anything anywhere", requiring constraints to control specifically what moved where.
		Within the computational linguistics community, statistical models have largely supplanted logical ones, with the advantage that constraints are not "hard", but rather "soft".

	Ling 001 Lecture 1: Introduction to Language and Linguistics
		Linguists talk a lot about "grammar", and this class will be no exception, so in order to explain what linguistics and language is, I want to say something about what linguists mean by this term and, more importantly, what they don't mean.
		The reasons why some linguistic feature is looked on as "improper" or associated with low prestige typically have quite a bit to do with historical accident or whim, and rarely have anything to do with real linguistic issues.
		Linguistics is concerned with language in the latter sense only to the extent that things like computer languages can help us to understand language in its core sense of normal human speech.

	Computational Linguistics in San Diego
		Ironically, as this change to theoretical linguistics was getting underway, mainstream computational work had shifted dramatically toward engineering-oriented and linguistically-shallow approaches, in which much of the interest in language as a scientific object of study was lost.
		New theoretical infrastructure needs to be developed that is informed in part by linguistic results that shed light on the structure and meaning of language, and in part by empirical modeling concerns that need to be conquered if sophisticated applications are to be realized.
		San Diego is quickly becoming a premier place in the United States to pursue computational linguistics, and particularly so for those who want to complement their study of computationally-oriented methods with the perspective and intensive training in the core properties of language provided by a linguistics department.

		For example, different varieties of Chinese are popularly regarded as "dialects," though their speakers cannot understand each other, but speakers of Swedish and Norwegian, which are regarded as separate "languages," generally understand each other.
		What is important from a linguistic and educational point of view is not whether AAVE is called a "language" or a "dialect" but rather that its systematicity be recognized.
		There is evidence from Sweden, the US, and other countries that speakers of other varieties can be aided in their learning of the standard variety by pedagogical approaches which recognize the legitimacy of the other varieties of a language.
