Subregular linguistics: bridging theoretical linguistics and formal grammar

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Subregular linguistics is a fairly new approach that seeks a deeper understanding of language by combining the rigor of formal grammar with the empirical sophistication of theoretical linguistics. The approach started in phonology but has since branched out to morphology and even syntax, unearthing unexpected parallels between these three domains of language. In this paper, I argue based on these results that subregular linguistics has a lot to offer to both fields. Subregular linguistics may be the ideal conduit for knowledge transfer between these two communities.
