A Bio-Inspired Model of Picture Array Generating P System with Restricted Insertion Rules
In the bio-inspired area of membrane computing, a novel computing model with a generic name of P system was introduced around the year 2000. Among its several variants, string or array language generating P systems involving rewriting rules have been ...

A Generalised Quantifier Theory of Natural Language in Categorical Compositional Distributional Semantics with Bialgebras [PDF]
Categorical compositional distributional semantics is a model of natural language; it combines the statistical vector space models of words with the compositional models of grammar.

LFG Generation by Grammar Specialization [PDF]
This article describes an approach to Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) generation that is based on the fact that the set of strings that an LFG grammar relates to a particular acyclic f-structure is a context-free language. We present an algorithm that produces for an arbitrary LFG grammar and an arbitrary acyclic input f-structure a context-free ...

Degraded acceptability and markedness in syntax, and the stochastic interpretation of optimality theory [PDF]
The argument that I tried to elaborate on in this paper is that the conceptual problem behind the traditional competence/performance distinction does not go away, even if we abandon its original Chomskyan formulation. It returns as the question about the

Developing and applying heterogeneous phylogenetic models with XRate [PDF]
Modeling sequence evolution on phylogenetic trees is a useful technique in computational biology. Especially powerful are models which take account of the heterogeneous nature of sequence evolution according to the "grammar" of the encoded gene features.

Why English Exhibits Determiner-Possessor Complementarity and Slovene Doesn’t
The aim of the paper is to provide an explanation for the following difference between English and Slovene: whereas in English a definite determiner and a possessor are in complementary distribution, in Slovene the two categories are perfectly ...

Scientific modelling in generative grammar and the dynamic turn in syntax [PDF]
In this paper, I address the issue of scientific modelling in contemporary linguistics, focusing on the generative tradition. In so doing, I identify two common varieties of linguistic idealisation, which I call determination and isolation respectively ...

Recursion as a Human Universal and as a Primitive
This contribution asks, in an empirical rather than formal perspective, whether a range of descriptive phenomena in grammar usually characterized in terms of ‘recursion’ actually exhibit recursion. It is concluded that empirical evidence does not support

The Relationship between Competence and Performance: Towards a Comprehensive TG Grammar
Chomsky’s Syntactic Structures (1957) has proved to be a turning point in the twentieth century’s linguistics. He proposes his linguistic theory of generative grammar, which departed radically from the structuralism and behaviourism of the previous ...
