THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS: EXPLORING THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN SYNTACTIC STRUCTURE AND MEANING.

Аннотация

This article explores the intricate relationship between syntax (the structure of sentences) and semantics (the meaning conveyed). Drawing from linguistic theory, cognitive science, and computational models, it highlights how syntactic structures constrain and shape meaning, while semantic interpretation can, in turn, influence syntactic choices. We examine key phenomena including compositionality, ambiguity, and the interface between syntax and semantics in natural language understanding. The article demonstrates that a comprehensive understanding of language requires an integrated approach, recognizing the dynamic interplay between these two core components.
