Semantic Unification A sheaf theoretic approach to natural language [PDF]
, 2014 Language is contextual and sheaf theory provides a high level mathematical framework to model contextuality. We show how sheaf theory can model the contextual nature of natural language and how gluing can be used to provide a global semantics for a ...

Constraints on metalinguistic anaphora [PDF]
, 2007 The focus of this paper is on a subset of heteronymous mention, namely those cases in which the mentioning expression is, roughly speaking, anaphorically linked to the string it mentions. I will distinguish two subclasses.

Journal of Software: Evolution and Process, Volume 37, Issue 8, August 2025.This study detects ambiguities in functional requirements. Preprocessing extracts tokens and applies NLP tasks. SpanBERT handles anaphoric ambiguity, while NER (Named Entity Ruler) and pattern matching identify coordination ambiguity and missing conditions.

The Grail theorem prover: Type theory for syntax and semantics [PDF]
, 2016 As the name suggests, type-logical grammars are a grammar formalism based on logic and type theory. From the prespective of grammar design, type-logical grammars develop the syntactic and semantic aspects of linguistic phenomena hand-in-hand, letting the

Using Eye Movements From a “Read‐Only” Task to Predict Text Comprehension
Reading Research Quarterly, Volume 60, Issue 3, July/September 2025.ABSTRACT Recent research on the use of eye movements to predict performance on reading comprehension tasks suggests that while eye movements may be used to measure comprehension, the relationship between eye‐movement behavior and comprehension is influenced by differences in task demands between comprehension measures.

A Frobenius Algebraic Analysis for Parasitic Gaps [PDF]
, 2020 The interpretation of parasitic gaps is an ostensible case of non-linearity in natural language composition. Existing categorial analyses, both in the typelogical and in the combinatory traditions, rely on explicit forms of syntactic copying. We identify
