Linearizing Multidominance Structures1
نویسنده
چکیده
A multidominance (MD) structure is a structure where at least one node has more than one mother node. Sentences that involve Right-Node Raising (RNR), like (1), have been proposed to have an MD representation in (2), where the object DP an article on Barack Obama is simultaneously dominated by two mother nodes: VP1 and VP2 (Bachrach and Katzir 2006; Levine 1985; McCawley 1982; McCloskey 1986; Moltmann 1992; Muadz 1991; Wilder 1999). The multiply dominated DP is said to be shared between the two VPs and all the nodes that dominate them.

This is an effect that belongs to the process that maps the hierarchical groupings of syntactic representations onto strings. The process that produces Right Node Raising, then, should engage that process in such a way that the Right Edge Effect emerges. I will assume that the relevant process is the one that linearizes the terminals in a phrase marker. There have been a series of recent propos...
متن کاملOn the Logic of LGB Type Structures. Part I: Multidominance Structures
A. The present paper is the first part of a sequence of papers devoted to the modal logics of structures that arise from Government and Binding theory. It has been shown in [9] that they can be modeled by so-called multidominance structures (MDSs). The result we are going to prove here is that the dynamic logic of the MDSs is decidable. Moreover, we shall indicate how the theory of Gover...
متن کاملMultidominance and locality
Merger of a phrase for the second time (i.e. remerge) leads to structure sharing, which can be represented by a multidominance graph. Depending on the configuration, this corresponds to what is traditionally considered either regular movement or sideward sharing. These two types of remerge exhibit somewhat different properties. Basic Minimalist principles predict that locality constraints can b...
متن کاملOn Monadic Second-Order Theories of Multidominance Structures
Multidominance structures were introduced by Kracht [4] to provide a data structure for the formalisation of various aspects of GB-Theory. Kracht studied the PDL-theory of MDSes and showed that this theory is decidable in [5], actually 2EXPTIME-complete. He continues to conjecture that thus the MSO-theory of MDSes should be decidable, too. We show here the contrary. Actually, both the MSO-theor...
متن کاملFeedback Linearization Control of the Inertia Wheel Pendulum
In this paper, two feedback linearizing control laws for the stabilization of the Inertia Wheel Pendulum are derived: a full-state linearizing controller, generalizing the existing results in literature, with friction ignored in the description and an inputoutput linearizing control law, based on a physically motivated definition of the system output. Experiments are carried out on a laboratory...
