Closed Categories and Categorial Grammar
Inspired by Lambek's work on categorial grammar, we examine the proposal that the theory of biclosed monoidal categories can serve as a foundation for a formal theory of natural language. The emphasis throughout is on the derivation of the axioms for these categories from linguistic intuitions. When Montague's principle that there is a homomorphism between syntax and semantics is reened to the ...
متن کاملBook Review: Categorial Grammar: Logical Syntax, Semantics, and Processing by Glyn V. Morrill
The title of this book, Categorial Grammar: Logical Syntax, Semantics, and Processing, indicates that this will be a book about categorial grammar. In the preface, however, several strains of categorial grammar are discussed, including combinatory categorial grammar (Steedman 2000), pregroup grammar (Lambek 1999), and abstract categorial grammar (de Groote 2001), and it is clarified that the bo...
متن کاملIntegrating Semantic Analysis into Syntactic Parsing: Combining Categorial Grammar and Frame Semantics
For a long time, syntacticians and semanticists have been seeking a way to integrate semantic analysis into syntactic parsing, or inverse; because they have realized that understanding cannot be fully explained simply with syntax or semantics. Categorial Grammarians devoted a lot to extend the expressiveness of CG, but they missed a point what behinds the scene is meanings rather than grammar r...
متن کاملUnificational Combinatory Categorial Grammar. Combining Information Structure and Discourse Representations
In this paper we present a grammar formalism that combines the insights from Combinatory Categorial Grammar with feature structure unification. We show how information structure can be incorporated with syntactic and semantic representations in a principled way. We focus on the way theme, rheme, and focus are integrated in the compositional semantics, using Discourse Representation Theory as fi...
متن کاملAbout Parallel and Syntactocentric Formalisms: A Perspective from the Encoding of Convergent Grammar into Abstract Categorial Grammar
Recent discussions of grammatical architectures have distinguished two competing approaches to the syntax-semantics interface: syntactocentrism, wherein syntactic structures are mapped or transduced to semantics (and phonology), vs. parallelism, wherein semantics (and phonology) communicates with syntax via a nondirectional (or relational) interface. This contrast arises for instance in dealing...
