Formalizing Mirror Theory

چکیده

In his account of the mirror principle, Baker (1988) relies crucially on head (X) movement, to which he (compellingly) argues that the GF changing processes can be reduced. This move, along with the head movement constraint (Travis, 1984), allow Baker to account for the mirror principle. Head movement however, seems to have very different properties from phrasal (XP) movement. For example, head movement, but not phrasal movement, is a one-time deal: each head can move at most once (as excorporation is disallowed). Moreover, the domain of locality of heads seems much stricter than that of phrases (a head can move only to the next higher head position) (see (Brody, 1997) esp. chap. 3 for more and detailed examples of the differences between head and phrasal movement). Mirror theory accounts both for the mirror principle, and for the difference between phrasal and head movement by its requirement that the

Formalizing Mathematical Knowledge as a Biform Theory Graph: A Case Study

A biform theory is a combination of an axiomatic theory and an algorithmic theory that supports the integration of reasoning and computation. These are ideal for formalizing algorithms that manipulate mathematical expressions. A theory graph is a network of theories connected by meaning-preserving theory morphisms that map the formulas of one theory to the formulas of another theory. Theory gra...
