Noam Chomsky, building on earlier work by Zellig Harris, Louis Hjelmslev, and others. Since then, numerous theories have been proposed under its umbrella: Transformational grammar (TG) (Original theory of generative syntax laid out by Chomsky in Syntactic Structures in 1957) Government and binding theory (GB) (revised theory in the tradition of TG developed mainly by Chomsky in the 1970s and 1980s) Minimalist program (MP) (a reworking of the theory out of the GB framework published by Chomsky in 1995) Other theories that find their origin in the generative paradigm are: Arc pair grammar Generalized phrase structure grammar (GPSG) Generative semantics Head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG) Lexical functional grammar (LFG) Nanosyntax Relational grammar (RG) Harmonic grammar (HG) Cognitive and usage-based grammars The Cognitive Linguistics framework stems from generative grammar but adheres to evolutionary, rather than Chomskyan, linguistics. Cognitive models often recognise the generative assumption that the object belongs to the verb phrase. Cognitive frameworks include the following: Cognitive grammar Construction grammar (CxG) Emergent grammar See also Cartographic syntax List of syntactic phenomena Metasyntax Musical syntax Semiotics Syntactic category Syntax (academic journal) Syntax (programming languages) Syntax–Semantics Interface Usage Syntactic terms Adjective Adjective phrase Adjunct Adpositional phrase Adverb Anaphora Answer ellipsis Antecedent Antecedent-contained deletion Appositive Argument Article Aspect Attributive adjective and predicative adjective Auxiliary verb Binding Branching c-command Case Category Catena Clause Closed class word Comparative Complement Compound noun and adjective Conjugation Conjunction Constituent Coordination Coreference Crossover Dangling modifier Declension Dependency grammar Dependent marking Determiner Discontinuity Do-support Dual (form for two) Ellipsis Endocentric Exceptional case-marking Expletive Extraposition Finite verb Function word Gapping Gender Gerund Government Head Head marking Infinitive Inverse copular construction Inversion Lexical item Logical form (linguistics) m-command Measure word (classifier) Merge Modal particle Modal verb Modifier Mood Movement Movement paradox Nanosyntax Negative inversion Non-configurational language Non-finite verb Noun Noun ellipsis Noun phrase Number Object Open class word Parasitic gap Part of speech Particle Periphrasis Person Personal pronoun Pied-piping Phrasal verb Phrase Phrase structure grammar Plural Predicate Predicative expression Preposition and postposition Pronoun Pseudogapping Raising Grammatical relation Restrictiveness Right node raising Sandhi Scrambling Selection Sentence Separable verb Shifting Singular Sluicing Small clause Stripping Subcategorization Subject Subject-auxiliary inversion Subject-verb inversion Subordination Superlative Tense Topicalization Tough movement Uninflected word V2 word order Valency Verb Verb phrase Verb phrase ellipsis Voice Wh-movement Word order X-bar theory References Citations Sources An interdisciplinary essay on the interplay between logic and linguistics on syntactic theories.
