--- abstract: '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.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'April 4, 2007' conference: Синтаксические структуры / Syntactic Structures confloc: Moscow contact_email: ~ creators_id: - imz@altlinux.org creators_name: - family: Zakharyaschev given: Ivan honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2007-04 date_type: completed datestamp: 2012-11-09 19:58:28 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/87/13 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Korotkova given: N.A. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Letuchiy given: A.B. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Volk given: V.S. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Testelets given: Ya.G. honourific: Dr lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 8713 fileinfo: /8713/1.hassmallThumbnailVersion/imz_TLG-for-sluicing-and-wh-in-situ_handout-2007-04-09.pdf;/8713/1/imz_TLG-for-sluicing-and-wh-in-situ_handout-2007-04-09.pdf|/8713/2.hassmallThumbnailVersion/imz_TLG-for-sluicing-and-wh-in-situ_abstract-2007-04-02.pdf;/8713/2/imz_TLG-for-sluicing-and-wh-in-situ_abstract-2007-04-02.pdf|/style/images/fileicons/text_plain.png;/8713/3/postscriptum-2011-04-24.txt full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: unpub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: Non-associative Lambek calculus; Symmteric Non-associative Lambek calculus; type-logical grammar; questions; sluicing; sluicing-based NPs; movement; anaphora; WH-items; WH-words; WH-extraction; pied-piping; Japanese; English; Russian lastmod: 2013-02-18 15:13:35 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: "The Russian spelling of the author's name is: Иван Захарьящев" number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: "Barker, C.
