We compare two approaches for describing and generating bodies of rules used for natural language parsing. In today's parsers rule bodies do not exist a priori but are genera...
Abstract. Relational Grammar (RG) was introduced in the 70's as a theory of grammatical relations and relation change, for example, passivization, dative shift, and raising. F...
Locality Conditions (LCs) on (unbounded) dependencies have played a major role in the development of generative syntax ever since the seminal work by Ross [22]. Descriptively, they...
Abstract. We investigate natural deduction proofs of the Lambek calculus from the point of view of tree automata. The main result is that the set of proofs of the Lambek calculus c...
A new sort of generative grammar (Sec2) will be demonstrated which is more radically “lexicalist” than any earlier one (Sec1). It is a modified Unification Categorial Gramma...
