The Future of Syntax: Asian Perspectives in an AI Age

Autor Jieun Kiaer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 dec 2023
Proposing a new approach to the study of language, this book argues for the need to consider syntax in context and to engage with a wider variety of perspectives that better reflect the modern world and the changes to our language prompted by increased cultural diversity, the prevalence of social media, AI, and more. Referencing big data and drawing on a corpus of linguistic research, the book explores in particular the socio-pragmatic sensitivity and complexity within East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, offering new insights that step away from traditional approaches to formal syntax. In tracing the history of syntactic theory, it highlights the shifts in our communication as we adapt to technological developments, and focuses in particular on the significant advances in AI. Arguing that traditional syntactic theory is no longer in keeping with real life communication, Jieun Kiaer scrutinises current approaches and raises key questions about the need for a more appropriate grammar better suited to the diversity of human language.

Recenzii

A thought-provoking and updated study on the relationship between universality and individuality in doing syntax, this book raises important methodological issues that no working linguist could eschew. Those focusing on (East)-Asian linguistics will see their familiar data put through thoughtful discussion and explore its relevance further.
