Compositionality in perception: A framework
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.

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.

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

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 ...

Grammar-based Representation and Identification of Dynamical Systems [PDF]
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
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.

Discourse markers so and well in Zimbabwean English: A corpus‐based comparative analysis
Abstract This analysis of discourse markers so and well in Zimbabwean English (ZE) and British English was carried out to determine possible statistically significant variations in their occurrence and function frequencies in spoken and written registers, and in different genres to ascertain if they are used in the same manner in both languages and in ...

Unifying synchronous tree-adjoining grammars and tree transducers via bimorphisms. [PDF]
We place synchronous tree-adjoining grammars and tree transducers in the single overarching framework of bimorphisms, continuing the unification of synchronous grammars and tree transducers initiated by Shieber (2004).

A Letter that Killeth: Gregory of Nyssa on How (Not) to Read Scripture, Platonically
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 ...
