Overtly Anaphoric Control in Type Logical Grammar
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we analyse anaphoric pronouns in control sentences and we investigate the implications of these kinds of sentences in relation to the Propositional Theory versus Property Theory question. For these purposes, we invoke the categorial calculus with limited contraction, a conservative extension of Lambek calculus that builds contraction into the logical rules for a customized slash type-constructor.

Binding Domains: Anaphoric and Pronominal Pronouns in Categorial Grammar
In this paper we present a treatment for anaphoric pronouns and reflexives in a Type Logical Grammar. To this end, we introduce structural modalities into the left pronominal rule of the categorial calculus with limited contraction LLC [8]. Following a proposal due to Hepple [6], we also sketch an analysis for the long-distance anaphora seg from Icelandic.
متن کاملAnaphora and Quantification in Categorial Grammar
The paper proposes a type logical reformulation of Jacobson’s ([9]) treatment of anaphoric dependencies in Categorial Grammar. To this end, the associative Lambek Calculus is extended with a new connective. In the first part, its proof theory is introduced and the logical properties of the resulting calculus are discussed. In the second part, this system is applied to several linguistic phenome...
متن کاملComputational semantics in type theory
This paper aims to show how Montague-style grammars can be completely formalized and thereby declaratively implemented by using the Grammatical Framework GF. The implementation covers the fundamental operations of Montague’s PTQ model: the construction of analysis trees, the linearization of trees into strings, and the interpretation of trees as logical formulas. Moreover, a parsing algorithm i...
متن کاملThe Interpretation of Complement Anaphorae: the case of The Others
This paper presents an experimental study on the interpretation of the complement anaphora the others in inter-sentential discourse. It aims to offer an answer to the following two empirical questions. First, how complement anaphora denote the “complement set”, a set of referents that includes those referents not denoted by the matching anaphoric antecedent. Second, what are the exact interpret...
متن کاملGeneralized Quantification and Anaphora Across Ontological Domains: Evidence from ASL
It was shown in Schlenker (to appear) that in ASL one and the same anaphoric element has nominal, temporal, and modal uses, and that in all three domains generalized quantifiers can introduce loci (= positions in signing space) that denote what is often called the 'maximal set', i.e. the maximal set of objects that satisfy both the restrictor and the nuclear scope. But the anaphoric status of r...
