Principles and Parameters
Noam Chomsky’s more recent theory about grammar and how children acquire it.
Principles are aspects of grammar that may have multiple parameters allowing variability in how languages address the principle.
Parameters are alternatives ways to deal with a given principle.
![Page 22: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Examples of Principles and Parameters
Principle: Sentences must have a subject and a predicate. Can the subject be implied?“Pro drop” parameter options:
You must have a subject present.You can drop the subject and it will be
understood to be there.
English: I am going to the store . Head required.Spanish: (Yo) voy a la tienda. Head optional.

Examples of Principles and Parameters
Principle: The “head” of a phrase and its complements must be in linear order.
“Head parameter” options:The head always comes before the complement.The head always comes after the complement.
English: bought book Japanese: book boughtEnglish: in Japan Japanese: Japan in

Chomsky’s Earlier Theory
![Page 25: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Generative Grammar
Assumes two levels of grammatical structure:
1. Deep structure which is universal and underlies all grammars in all languages
2. Surface structure which represents the specific uses of deep structure elements in specific languages.
![Page 26: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Transformational Grammar
To get from deep structure to surface structure Chomsky proposed a set of rules called
TRANSFORMATIONS.
Deep structure Transformations Surface structure
Deletions
![Page 27: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Chomsky’s Generative Grammar
Generative grammar is based on theidea that all grammatical constructions occur as a result of universal patterns and rules that can be applied to all languages.
All languages DO NOT, according to generative grammar, have unique sets of grammatical rules.
![Page 28: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example of a Deletion Rule
The dog played in the yard and the cat played in the yard.
The deletion rule says that you can eliminate redundancies, therefore:
The dog and the cat played in the yard.(“played in the yard” is deleted)
![Page 29: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Structural Ambiguity Occurs when one surface structure
can represent two deep structure meanings.
Example:
Flying Planes can be dangerous.(Surface structure in English)
To fly planes Planes that are flyingCan be dangerous can be dangerous.
(2 deep structure meanings)
![Page 30: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Understanding the Ambiguity
Planes can be dangerous.Embedding rule
Planes – planes flying – can be dangerous.Deletion rule
Planes - flying - can be dangerous.Transformation rule
Flying planes can be dangerous.
This seems to yield the correct meaning.
![Page 31: Culture, Language and Communication. Communication Definition: The transmission of information from one individual to another](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649f275503460f94c3f6dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Understanding the Ambiguity
But there is also a transformational rule that says you can substitute infinitives for
participles.
Flying planes can be dangerous.Transformation rule
To fly planes can be dangerous.
This is where the confusion comes in.
