Priming Effects in Combinatory Categorial Grammar

چکیده
This paper presents a corpus-based account of structural priming in human sentence processing, focusing on the role that syntactic representations play in such an account. We estimate the strength of structural priming effects from a corpus of spontaneous spoken dialogue, annotated syntactically with Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) derivations. This methodology allows us to test a range of predictions that CCG makes about priming. In particular, we present evidence for priming between lexical and syntactic categories encoding partially satisfied subcategorization frames, and we show that priming effects exist both for incremental and normal-form CCG derivations.

Combinatory Categorial Grammar is a lexicalised formalism which is mildly context-sensitive. Recently Set Combinatory Categorial Grammar, a direct descendent of Combinatory Categorial Grammar was proposed to treat local scrambling adequately. In this paper, we briefly sketch Set Combinatory Categorial Grammar analyses of various Korean syntactic phenomena including coordination, extraction and ...

In this article we will present a classification and an analysis, by means of Applicative and Combinatory Categorial Grammar (ACCG), of relative, completive and indirect interrogative propositions in French introduced by ”que” and ”qui”. Applicative and Combinatory Categorial Grammar is a generalization of standard Categorial Grammar. It is represented by a canonical association between Steedma...
متن کاملLambek Grammars as Combinatory Categorial Grammars
We propose a combinatory reformulation of the product free version of the categorial calculus LL, i.e. the associative Lambek calculus that admits empty premises. We prove equivalence of the combinatory with the standard Natural Deduction presentation of LL. The result offers a new perspective on the relation between the type logical and the combinatory branch of the Categorial Grammar research...
متن کاملImplementation of Presence and Absence of Blocking Effects: A Categorial Grammar Approach to Chinese and Korean
Among the languages that allow long-distance reflexives, some languages have blocking effects, whereas others don’t. The goal of this paper is to provide computational algorithms that can handle presence and absence of blocking effects of long-distance reflexives. We will examine the blocking effects in Chinese and Korea and develop computational algorithms for handling blocking effects in thos...
