Glyn Morrill

Categorial Grammar: Logical Syntax, Semantics, and Processing

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a state-of-the-art introduction to categorial grammar, a type of formal grammar which analyses expressions as functions or according to a function-argument relationship. The book's focus is on linguistic, computational, and psycholinguistic aspects of logical categorial grammar, i.e. enriched Lambek Calculus.
