The converse of this theoretical assumption is computing parsimony: one should minimize the number of operations required for the production of a sentence. The extreme version of computing parsimony is storage of every sentence structure so that production is simply retrieval of the structure from storage. Of course, neither storage parsimony nor computing parsimony are valid assumptions. Empirical evidence must be brought to bear on whether speakers are retrieving entrenched grammatical constructions, or computing a particular sentence structure on the basis of other structures.
They can also serve as complete sentences in themselves since they contain pronominal prefixes identifying their core arguments. In addition, they can serve as arguments with no overt nominalization. ” Others are used sometimes to predicate, sometimes to refer. The sentence in (2) was from a conversation. The translation was provided later by one of the participants. ” (2) Mohawk verbal expression Nè:’e tiathrória’t kí:ken “Let’s talk about this thetèn:re wahonwaia’táta’. ” In many cases Mohawk speakers simply use verbs to express ideas English speakers convey with nouns, like “this morning” below.
If we are right that an infinite number of linguistic structures are possible in most languages, then any finite corpus is small, indeed tiny, compared to the total space of legitimate possibilities. So nothing much follows logically from an observation like “X does not occur in a corpus” as long as native speakers’ judgments and interpretations of X are robust and consistent. Of course studying a corpus might be valuable in various ways, but it figures to be a poor and clumsy substitute for direct native speaker judgments across the board.
