AN ARGUMENT FOR NON‐AGREE‐DRIVEN MOVEMENT
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 ...

Structural Ambiguity and the Architecture of Language1
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.

Tree Adjoining Grammar at the Interfaces [PDF]
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

Realization of tree adjoining grammars with unification
The syntactic generator of the WIP system is based on the representation formalism "Tree Adjoining Grammars" (TAGs). We have extended the formalism by associating elementary rules of the grammar (trees) with feature structures, leading to "Tree Adjoining Grammars with Unification" (UTAGs).

Abstract In this essay, I explore the emergence of multicolumn Bibles in late antiquity, with a particular emphasis on Origen's Hexapla and its use by Gregory of Nyssa. I contextualise Gregory's use of multicolumn Bibles within the Origenian tradition and show that, in this intellectual context, multicolumn Bibles functioned as hermeneutical rather ...

Using Synchronous TAG for Source-Side Reordering in SMT
Recent efforts in machine translation try to enrich statistical methods by syntactic information of source and target languages. In this paper we present a hybrid machine translator, which combines rule-based and statistical models in a serial manner ...

Lexicalization and Grammar Development [PDF]
In this paper we present a fully lexicalized grammar formalism as a particularly attractive framework for the specification of natural language grammars. We discuss in detail Feature-based, Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars (FB-LTAGs), a representative

Scope and situation binding in LTAG using semantic unification [PDF]
This paper develops a framework for TAG (Tree Adjoining Grammar) semantics that brings together ideas from different recent approaches.Then, within this framework, an analysis of scope is proposed that accounts for the different scopal properties of ...
