In this article I consider some recent objections raised against the syntactic treatment of negation in English multiclausal structures, particular what has been called NEG-raising. argue that based on pronominalisation and ellipsis presented literature do pose a problem for accounts mechanisms so-called NOT-transportation rely rule leftwards movement, as is customary generative grammar. Howeve...

We propose to process coordination at the parsing level as a linguistic performance issue, outside the grammar, rather than as a matter of competence. We apply a specific algorithm to combine coordinated syntactic structures that were partially parsed using a coordinationless grammar, resulting in a directed acyclic parse graph in which constituent sharing appears sharply. This article presents...

Korean Combinatory Categorial Grammar (KCCG) is an extended combinatory categorial grammar formalism that can capture the syntax and interpretation of the \relative free" word order, long distance scrambling and other characteristics of Korean. The KCCG formalism can uniformly handle word order variation among arguments and adjuncts within a clause as well as in complex clauses and across claus...

Polarized dependency (PD-) grammars are proposed as a means of efficient treatment of discontinuous constructions. PD-grammars describe two kinds of dependencies : local, explicitly derived by the rules, and long, implicitly specified by negative and positive valencies of words. If in a PD-grammar the number of non-saturated valencies in derived structures is bounded by a constant, then it is w...

This paper looks at integrating dependency and constituency into a common framework, using the TAG formalism and a diierent perspective on the meta-grammar of (Dras, 1999) in which the grammar is viewed as a single yield function. This framework gives consistent dependency analyses of raising verbs interacting with bridge verbs, solving a problem in Synchronous TAG; and in a completely diierent...

The global impact of climate change remains a grave concern to every nation, from severe droughts in East Africa wildfires Australia and extreme floods landslides India, Nepal Bangladesh, and, recently, the devastating witnessed Nigeria, challenges continue escalate. Climate is driving people out their homes ushering world poverty. Extant literature avers that at centre mitigating adverse effec...

One part of the answer to the Logical Problem of Language Acquisition is that children come to the task of language learning equipped with Universal Grammar: this allows them to entertain a limited set of hypotheses about what Language could possibly be like, so they don’t have to consider all the possibilities in the universe. Another part of the answer, typically assumed, is that children use...
