A syntax network morphospace reveals sudden transitions between discrete developmental stages during language acquisition

2025-02-19

Abstract excerpt

Syntax is an aspect of human language responsible for the hierarchical ordering of linguistic structures. Syntax can be summarized by dependency trees with words as nodes and edges reflecting syntactic subordination. By merging trees from several sentences, we obtain syntax graphs or networks, which display distinct shapes depending on whether the language capability is well-formed, still developing, or pathologic...
