Written primarily from the perspective of computational theory, Grammatical Basis of Linguistic Performance presents a synthesis of some major recent developments in grammatical theory and its application to models of language performance. Its main thesis is that Chomsky's government-binding theory is a good foundation for models of both machine parsing and language learnability.Both authors are at MIT. Robert C. Berwick is Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Amy Weinberg is in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy. Their book is eleventh in the series Current Studies in Linguistics.

Title Principle-based Parsing: Computation and Psycholinguistics Volume 44 of Studies in linguistics and philosophy, ISSN 0924-4662 Authors Robert C. Berwick, Steven P. Abney, Carol Tenny Editors Robert C. Berwick, Steven P. Abney, Carol Tenny Publisher Springer, 1992 ISBN 0792316371, 9780792316374 Length 408 pages Focusing on a new approach to natural language analysis - principle-based parsing, this work shows how the large rule-based and language-specific systems that have dominated the conventional computational approach to language may be replaced by interacting, language-universal principles.
