• Linguistic competence is a mental tool for translating meaning into sound and vice versa. (if you know what you want to say, your ‚competence‘ will compute a text automatically)
• Problem: meaning is extremely difficult to define, to describe or even to measure in non-subjective terms
The mind as a computer (1)
![Page 16: Core Lecture Linguistics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/568143b7550346895db04226/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

• Human memory is limited• Humans are creative when they speak and can deal
with novelty• Humans can always distinguish utterances that are
in their language from such that are not.
• Assumption: language is like a logical production system
![Page 17: Core Lecture Linguistics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/568143b7550346895db04226/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Logical Production Systems (Components)
• Produce symbol strings (Theorems)
• Contain: (a) Axioms (b) Production rules
Axioms: #, &Production Rules: # ###
## &Theorems: #, &, ###, #&, &#, ...
No Theorems: *##, *&&,*##&

Lexical Phonology III
Strict Cyclicity Effect:
Structure-changing cyclic rules apply in derived environments only
(where a ‘derived environment’ is an environment created by either a morphological rule or a phonological rule on the same cycle).
Elsewhere Condition:
Rules A, B apply disjunctively to a form iff:(i) SDA is a proper subset of SDB; and(ii) SCA is distinct from SCB.
In that case Rule A, applying first, blocks rule B.

Natural Phonology III

General assumption: phonology serves the purpose ofmaking language pronounceable and perceivable.
Processes and rules are signs,and can work better or not so well.

Language as a Darwinian System Replicators: NEURAL CELL ASSEMBLIES that acquire their identities from
the way in which they are linked up with one another. They‘represent’ linguistic elements from phonemes over words tosyntactic constituents or concepts. They govern linguisticBEHAVIOUR and produce cultural artefacts, i.e. TEXTS.BRAINS come equipped with a propensity to make sense oftheir environment, including crucially texts. When they do sothe neural networks of which they consist SELF-ORGANISEINTO structures that contain COPIES of the Cell Assemblieswhich originally produced the texts. Thereby the former havereplicated.
Imperfect Copying Fidelity inherent in the special type of replication.
Differential Replication :Ease of production, ease of perception, learnability,usefulness ... legions of well established factors
External Limits on Sustainability: obvious limits on memory.
