Neural bases of syntax–semantics interface processing [PDF]
Cognitive Neurodynamics, 2015 The binding problem-question of how information between the modules of the linguistic system is integrated during language processing-is as yet unresolved. The remarkable speed of language processing and comprehension (Pulvermüller et al. 2009) suggests that at least coarse semantic information (e.g. noun animacy) and syntactically-relevant information

Towards a Syntax-Semantics Interface for Latin
Catalan Journal of Linguistics, 2017 Latin is often cited as a typical example of a free word order language. Free word order inevitably complicates the compositional semantics for any theory in which functions are lexically defined to take their arguments in a fixed order.
