Implicational hierarchies also play a role in syntactic phenomena. For instance, in some languages (e.g. Tangut ) the transitive verb agrees not with a subject, or the object, but with the syntactic argument which is higher on the person hierarchy.
An example of an implicational hierarchy is that dual pronouns are only found in languages with plural pronouns while singular pronouns (or unspecified in terms of number) are found in all languages. The implicational hierarchy is thus singular < plural < dual (etc.).
Implicational hierarchy, a chain of implicational universals; if a language has one property then it also has other properties in the chain Entailment (pragmatics) or strict implication, the relationship between two sentences where the truth of one requires the truth of the other
An implicational universal applies to languages with a particular feature that is always accompanied by another feature, such as If a language has trial grammatical number, it also has dual grammatical number, while non-implicational universals just state the existence (or non-existence) of one particular feature.
On first-language acquisition (FLA), Cook presents Chomsky's nativist perspective—that humans are born with innate knowledge of natural language. Cook dismisses after consideration theories that FLA can be explained without nativism through the phenomena of social interaction , learning through praise or punishment ( behaviourism ), imitation ...
On Thursday, veteran NBA point guard Dennis Schröder was traded yet again, reportedly landing with the Detroit Pistons after being rerouted several times.
The research article "The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis and Probabilistic Inference: Evidence from the Domain of Color" [32] seeks to clarify the argument through the lens of probabilistic inference. The probabilistic model is a conjunction of both a universal color space and a language-specific categorical organization of that space.
A 25-year-old woman who just moved into a new apartment says her mom already wants her to move out — because one of her neighbors is "too attractive."
