Linguistic modeling refers to the construction of formal or computational representations that describe the structures, patterns, and relationships within a language system. In linguistics, the concept involves representing linguistic knowledge through theoretical frameworks or formal systems that capture properties of language, including phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic structures [1]. Linguistic models provide abstract representations of linguistic phenomena and are distinguished from descriptive analyses, which document language patterns, and from computational language models, which are designed for processing or generating language through computational mechanisms [2]. The scope of linguistic modeling therefore concerns the formal representation of linguistic systems rather than the direct use or acquisition of language by speakers [1][2].
