Bloomfield Comparison
Logic and Mathematics
Evolution of Language
Language Theory
100
This is a blanket term for Government and Binding Theory, Principles and Parameters approach, and Minimalism (UA 6).
What is Generative Grammar
100
Bloomfield championed this type of linguistic approach (Rowe and Levine 137).
What is the Structural Approach
100
Some believe that Chomsky's Syntactic Structures propose this, a set number of syntactic combinations (Pullum 2).
What is finite
100
This can be used to explain the mechanisms of human language (Bolhuis et al 2).
What is Evolutionary Analysis?
100
Chomsky argues that the creative use of language is an unsolvable mystery called this (Ferretti and Consentino 25).
What is Descartes' Problem?
200
Written in 1957, this book is viewed as Noam Chomsky's first step toward revolutionizing the study of language (Rowe and Levine 137).
What is Syntactic Structures
200
Chomsky believed that language acquisition is innate, but Bloomfield's linguistics emphasized this (Rowe and Levine 137).
What is performance
200
Chomsky notes that there is no connection between what a child will do with blocks and what a child knows about language that can be tested through these types of tests (Gliedman n.p.).
What is logic tests?
200
Principles of evolution can be used to predict or or explain this (Bolhuis et al 2).
What is structural organization of language?
200
Chomsky's theory of language finds that creative expression is linked to this (Ferretti and Cosentino 26).
What is Flexible Expression?
300
Chomsky's Generative Grammar follows a set of these (UA 8).
What is formal grammatical rules
300
Bloomfield's notion of performance, focused on what is said not what is known is also called this (Rowe and Levine 137)
What is surface structure
300
the old*(man comes) + (men come)) is an example of Chomsky's this (Pullum 3).
What is an Infinite FSL?
300
This can be viewed as a factor for the historical process of language change (Bolhuis 3).
What is Natural Selection?
300
Linguistic comprehension-production is a process that includes this (Ferretti and Cosentino 28).
What is processing effort?
400
In Generative Grammar a hypothesis refers to the rules and a group of hypothesis creates the grammar of this (UA 8).
What is syntax
400
Bloomfield's approach to linguistics is called mechanistic, while Chomsky's is called this (Rowe and Levine 138)
What is the mentalist approach.
400
Chomsky's theory in Syntactical Structures had an infinite number of these (Pullum 8).
What is variables?
400
Language in Homosapiens lacks these two forms of evolution (Bolhuis 3).
What is Convergent and comparative evolution?
400
Chomsky's theory finds that the mind is this, which exploits available resources according to cognitive situations (Ferretti and Cosentino 29).
What is an opportunistic system?
500
These terms refer to the kind of language that is produced and what we know about language (UA 17).
What are performance and competance
500
While Bloomfield's linguistics is viewed as more valuable, Chomsky's linguistic view is the most often used and has its roots here (De Lourdes 136).
What is in Bloomfield's Tradition
500
Chomsky believes that there a a specially limited form of productions called this (Pullum 11).
What is Restricted Forms?
500
The development of this bone along with basicranial flexion and laryngeal descent are essential to speech (Bolhuis 4).
What is the hyoid bone?
500
Chomsky finds that in order for meaning to be made of the infinite language possibilities one has to be this (Chomsky 5).
