Linguistic Theory
1.

Moreover, most lingu...
متن کاملGroup Theory and Linguistic Processing
There is currently much interest in bringing together the tradition of categorial grammar, and especially the Lambek calculus (Lambek, 1958), with the more recent paradigm of linear logic (Girard, 1987) to which it has strong ties.
