Is construction grammar cognitive?
This paper examines the view that usage-based construction grammar is a cognitive theory of language. In the usage-based (or cognitive) strand of constructional work, constructions are typically theorised as mental representations. A culmination of this view was Adele Goldberg’s (2006) definition of construction, which states two criteria for ...

On the Diversity of Linguistic Data and the Integration of the Language Sciences
An integrated science of language is usually advocated as a step forward for linguistic research. In this paper, we maintain that integration of this sort is premature, and cannot take place before we identify a common object of study.

Restricted Global Grammar Constraints [PDF]
We investigate the global GRAMMAR constraint over restricted classes of context free grammars like deterministic and unambiguous context-free grammars. We show that detecting disentailment for the GRAMMAR constraint in these cases is as hard as parsing ...

We give a new construction of compact Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy $G_2$. Let $M$ be a torsion-free $G_2$-manifold (which can have holonomy a proper subgroup of $G_2$) such that $M$ admits an involution $\iota$ preserving the $G_2$-structure ...
