The syntax of Greek split reciprocals
Syntax, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 713-746, December 2024.Abstract We provide the first detailed description and analysis of the syntax of the understudied Greek split reciprocal reconstruction. As in other languages, the reciprocal appears to be bipartite consisting of a quantificational distributor (‘the one’) and a reciprocator (‘the other’).

Compositionality in perception: A framework
WIREs Cognitive Science, Volume 15, Issue 6, November/December 2024.Vision is compositional. A spinning object moving through the scene is represented in terms of (among other things) its shape, 3D orientation, and motion, which themselves may be represented, respectively, in terms of configurations of shape parts, slant and tilt, and common and residual motion vectors.

Mind &Language, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 518-539, September 2024.It is commonly assumed that images, whether in the world or in the head, do not have a privileged analysis into constituent parts. They are thought to lack the sort of syntactic structure necessary for representing complex contents and entering into sophisticated patterns of inference. I reject this assumption.

Syntax, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 527-549, September 2024.Abstract Two structure‐building operations are currently posited in minimalist theory: an operation forming sets (set merge), and an operation forming ordered pairs (pair‐merge). I argue that pair‐merge is sufficient to generate syntactic relations, so set merge, also called simple merge, should be eliminated from syntactic theory on grounds of ...

LTAG semantics with semantic unification [PDF]
, 2004 This paper sets up a framework for LTAG (Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar) semantics that brings together ideas from different recent approaches addressing some shortcomings of TAG semantics based on the derivation tree.

Structure sharing in lexicalized tree-adjoining grammars [PDF]
Proceedings of the 14th conference on Computational linguistics -, 1992 We present a scheme for efficiently representing a lexicalized tree-adjoining grammar (LTAG). The proposed representational scheme allows for structure-sharing between lexical entries and the trees associated with the lexical items. A compact organization is achieved by organizing the lexicon in a hierarchical fashion and using inheritance as well as ...

AN ARGUMENT FOR NON‐AGREE‐DRIVEN MOVEMENT
Studia Linguistica, Volume 78, Issue 2, Page 229-253, August 2024.Abstract This paper argues for the occurrence of movement that is not the by‐product of an Agree relation in which a probe searches for a goal. The hypothesis that not all instances of movement might be feature‐driven was entertained in early Minimalism, but it has nevertheless become widely assumed that all instances of syntactic movement should be ...

Tree Adjoining Grammar at the Interfaces [PDF]
, 2014 This thesis constitutes an exploration of the applications of tree adjoining grammar (TAG) to natural language syntax. Perhaps more than any of its major competitors such as HPSG and LFG, however, TAG has never strayed too far from the guiding principles

Grammar-based Representation and Identification of Dynamical Systems [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper we propose a novel approach to identify dynamical systems. The method estimates the model structure and the parameters of the model simultaneously, automating the critical decisions involved in identification such as model structure and ...

Structural Ambiguity and the Architecture of Language1
Studia Linguistica, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 35-63, April 2024.Abstract This article investigates what structural ambiguity reveals about the architecture of language. It analyzes two basic types of structural ambiguity, constituent ambiguity and chain formation ambiguity, and illustrates with a small class of selected case studies how they interweave.
