4.6 Ranking and Language

  1. Why did Collobert et al. think a ranking criterion could capture syntax?
    It resembles Harris’s (1968) operator grammars, which grade the acceptability of sentences with one word class varied and find sentence forms with the same gradings, revealing structure through acceptability comparisons rather than explicit hierarchy.
