title: Type logic served by co-Merge, Merge and Move: an account for sluicing and questions of `common European' and Japanese types creator: Zakharyaschev, Ivan subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Language subject: Semantics subject: Syntax subject: Logic description: We explore the power of type-logical grammar as a linguistic theory, specifically, of a new tentative development inside the framework—a “symmetricized” Lambek Calculus, due to [Moortgat2005]. The basis for our discussion is an account we give for constructions involving questions and—in particular—involving sluicing; it seeks to solve puzzles these constructions have been setting for linguistic theory. Two things in the organization of grammar are of interest here: first, a uniform system joining structures from the surface side (syntactic) and structures from the “mind side” (discourse)—we call MERGE and co-MERGE the relations by which the former and the latter structures are arranged; second, a view on the circumstances of performing MOVE (by Syntax) from the type-logical perspective. As it is usual for type-logical grammars, the theory is conscious of semantics. We refer to examples from Japanese, on one side, and from English and Russian, on the other. contributor: Korotkova, N.A. contributor: Letuchiy, A.B. contributor: Volk, V.S. contributor: Testelets, Dr Ya.G. date: 2007-04 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/8713/1/imz_TLG-for-sluicing-and-wh-in-situ_handout-2007-04-09.pdf format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/8713/2/imz_TLG-for-sluicing-and-wh-in-situ_abstract-2007-04-02.pdf format: text/plain identifier: http://cogprints.org/8713/3/postscriptum-2011-04-24.txt identifier: Zakharyaschev, Ivan (2007) Type logic served by co-Merge, Merge and Move: an account for sluicing and questions of `common European' and Japanese types.
