Categorial Grammar: Logical Syntax, Semantics, and Processing Glyn V. Morrill

摘要

The book is neatly divided into three parts that are likely to be of varying levels of interest depending on the specific audience. Part I, titled “Lambek Categorial Grammar,” gives a concise introduction to a number of aspects of Lambek categorial grammar, which is suitable for an audience interested in the basic intuitions and mechanics of that grammar. Part II, titled “Logical Categorial Grammar,” introduces a number of extensions of Lambek’s grammar, each of which are motivated by linguistic considerations. This part is likely to be of relevance to linguists who are interested in the descriptive capabilities of type-logical grammar, but little attention is paid to computational aspects in this part. Part III is a collection of remaining topics that are loosely connected by their attention to processing. This part is directed towards those interested in psycho-linguistics and its connections to type-logical grammars.
