My answers.
Answer the questions according to Noam Chomsky's linguistic theories:
Question #1: Explain the meaning of terms "a grammar", "the grammar", "grammaticality" and explain the difference between those.
(This is a guess) A grammar is a rule in a language which governs the structure of the sentence. The grammar is the structure of a sentence. Grammaticality is the state or quality of the grammar of the sentence. Basically, "a grammar" is the rules on how to structure a sentence in a language, "the grammar" is the structure of the sentence, and "grammaticality" is the quality of the grammar in a sentence.
Question #2: What is "Universal Grammar" (UG)?
According to Chomskyan approach, "Universal Grammar" is that all humans across all cultures have a partially innate (born with) knowledge of syntax. Chomskyan's argument is that we only have to learn the distinct features of our native language in able to communicate in that language. That is, all natural human languages have common properties, and that some rules of grammar are manifested without being taught.
Question #3: What are "heads" and "complements" and what are the differences between those terms?
A complement is a word which is necessary to complete the meaning of a given expression. The head is the word which decides/determines the syntactic type of that phrase. Basically the head word is the word which governs what type of sentence it is, and a complement adds meaning (did I repeat myself twice?) (I swear I didn't copy off Nekomata).
Question #4: What is the difference between "syntax" and "grammar"?
Syntax is the constructions within sentences; it tells us what goes where in a sentence. Grammer is the set of rules in a language, which contains syntax.
Question #5: Explain the problem of "huckleberry".
I don't really understand this but... the stem "berry" is the head of the word as a huckleberry is a berry but is not a huckle. Without "berry", the word will make no sense while "berry" by itself does make sense. "huckle" is the complement as it defines what type of berry it is.
Question #6: Explain if the sentence "My mother's aunt is my sister's uncle." is correct.
Grammatically correct, but the sentence isn't true. the mother's aunt would be the great aunt, while the sister's uncle would be the uncle as well (also female =/= male).
In order to get a mod from me, you'll have to answer the questions and succeed with at least 60% of correct answers. I will take first 3 beatmaps as long as they won't be too hardcore for me!
