Functional Projections and Event Structure

Functional Projections and Dutch Complementizers

Formal grammar ooers two ways of analysing complementizers, i.e. as heads of their own phrasal projection (CP) or as nonhead sisters of verbal projections. Within HPSG, both treatments have been argued for, the former in Sag (to appear), the latter in Pollard & Sag (1994). In this paper, I will assess the pros and cons of both options on the basis of a number of Dutch complementizers. 1 Two way...

Revisiting Pattern Structure Projections

Formal concept analysis (FCA) is a well-founded method for data analysis and has many applications in data mining. Pattern structures is an extension of FCA for dealing with complex data such as sequences or graphs. However the computational complexity of computing with pattern structures is high and projections of pattern structures were introduced for simplifying computation. In this paper we...

The Structure and Enumeration of Link Projections

We define a decomposition of link projections whose pieces we call atoroidal graphs. We describe a surgery operation on these graphs and show that all atoroidal graphs can be generated by performing surgery repeatedly on a family of well known link projections. This gives a method of enumerating atoroidal graphs and hence link projections by recomposing the pieces of the decomposition.
