Linguistic Relevance in Modal Logic
The paper shows how a specific notion of (ir)relevance can elegantly be captured in modal logic. More concretely, the paper puts forth a formal definition of linguistic relevance in terms of logical semantics, and provides an axiomatization of it in modal logic.
متن کاملThe Linguistic Relevance of Quasi-Trees
We discuss two constructions (long scrambling and ECM verbs) which challenge most syntactic theories (including traditional TAG approaches) since they seem to require exceptional mechanisms and postulates. We argue that these constructions should in fact be analyzed in a similar manner, namely as involving a verb which selects for a " defective " complement. These complements are defective in t...
متن کاملThe Linguistic Relevance of Tree Adjoining Grammar
In this paper we apply a new notation for the writing of natural language grammars to some classical problems in the description of English. The formalism is the Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) of Joshi, Levy and Takahashi 1975, which was studied, initially only for its mathematical properties but which now turns out to be a interesting candidate for the proper notation of meta-grammar; that is fo...
متن کاملThe emergence of linguistic form in time
Where do linguistic forms come from? Researchers have proposed accounts based on rules, conventions, constraints, statistical regularities, discourse patterns, language contact, neurology, physical dynamics and genes. What is common to all of these forces is that they must all make their final impact at the moment of speaking. Some of these forces operate within a narrow time frame. For example...
متن کاملTranslating conversational speech to standard linguistic form
This paper describes the so-called ill-formed nature of spontaneous conversational speech as observed from the study of a 1500-hour corpus of recorded dialogue speech. We note that the structure is quite different from that of more formal speech or writing and propose a Statistical Machine Translation approach for mapping between the spoken and written forms of the language as if they were two ...
