A connectionist approach to functional-cognitive linguistics: Spanish pronominal clitics and verb endings in relational-network terms

The Spanish pronominal clitic and verb-ending systems have been widely treated in the functional and cognitive linguistics literature. However, they have rarely been jointly modeled from a network-based perspective. Moreover, the only previous attempt to characterize the systems architecture in net...

description	The Spanish pronominal clitic and verb-ending systems have been widely treated in the functional and cognitive linguistics literature. However, they have rarely been jointly modeled from a network-based perspective. Moreover, the only previous attempt to characterize the systems architecture in network terms presents a number of limitations. This paper presents a preliminary relational-network-based model of the main semantic, morphological, and morphotactic aspects of both systems. An explicit distinction is introduced among several types of cognitive relationships operating at different levels of the systems, as follows: (i) the relationships between the relevant semantic categories and their associated features are disjunctive, thus involving downward or nodes; (ii) whereas explicit, context-independent meanings involve simple downward or nodes, implicit, context-dependent messages call for complex disjunctive relationships in which an upward or node is then connected to downward or node; (iii) the relationships representing morphotactic patterns are sequential conjunctions, thus involving ordered and nodes; and (iv) the relationships established between a constellation of semantic features and the morphological representation realizing it in a specific context of use are simultaneous conjunctions, thus involving unordered and nodes. The model constitutes the first relational-network account of the cognitive relationships holding together the Spanish pronominal clitic and verb- ending systems.
