Resolution Rules Approach to Linguistic Agreement Sample Clauses

Resolution Rules Approach to Linguistic Agreement. Having discussed grammatical agreement in general and the general agreement issues pertinent to the English and Arabic languages, attention now turns to the resolution rules approach specifically. The term ‘resolution rules’ was first used by Givón to refer to the ‘rule-schema’ which resolve conflict in person, number, and gender agreement (1970, p. 250). Xxxxxx suggests that the works of Xxxxx ‘exemplify “[f]unctional approaches to language…that link grammatical form to grammatical function” (1999, p. 2). This approach of Givón, which differs fundamentally from the competence/performance model forwarded by Xxxxxxx, focuses on the pragmatic nature of language and its role in lucid communication and this practical approach is also the approach of this study. Xxxxxx goes on to mention that Givón “compares a grammar to a biological mechanism, whose anatomical structures adapt with evolution to the particular functions that they perform” (1999, p. 146). Xxxxx calls the work of Givón “monumental” and credits him with being “the founder of modern grammaticalization studies…[which] marked the beginning of work on the rise and development of grammatical (or functional) categories as a distinct field of research”; he also shared Givón’s mantra: “today’s syntax is tomorrow’s morphology” (2016, p. 728). In this study, I will see how the interlanguages of native Arabic writers are influenced by the grammars of their native language and if application of the resolution rules that determine agreement between noun/noun phrase and verb phrase constructions in the target language are affected by the resolution rules of their L1. The term ‘resolution rules,’ coined by Xxxxx, has been further championed in the field of linguistic agreement by Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, who has been working primarily in Slavic languages, although his works cover a dizzying array of at least 200 languages. Resolution rules have also been referred to as ‘feature computation rules’ (Xxxxxxx, 1983, p. 175), but this study will use Givón’s term ‘resolution rules’ exclusively. The preeminent discussion of resolution rules for phi-feature (person, number, and gender) agreement is Xxxxxxx’x “Resolution rules: agreement in person, number, and gender” (1983). In this chapter written by Xxxxxxx, he discusses circumstances under which resolution rules can be applied to best solve for agreement between person, number, and gender features. He opens the chapter with a description of the dilemma that resolution rules...
