Derivational Minimalism Is Mildly Context-Sensitive
The change within the linguistic framework of transformational grammar from GB–theory to minimalism brought up a particular type of formal grammar, as well. We show that this type of a minimalist grammar (MG) constitutes a subclass of mildly context–sensitive grammars in the sense that for each MG there is a weakly equivalent linear context–free rewriting system (LCFRS). Moreover, an infinite h...
متن کاملWell-Nestedness Properly Subsumes Strict Derivational Minimalism
Minimalist grammars (MGs) constitute a mildly contextsensitive formalism when being equipped with a particular locality condition (LC), the shortest move condition. In this format MGs define the same class of derivable string languages as multiple context-free grammars (MCFGs). Adding another LC to MGs, the specifier island condition (SPIC), results in a proper subclass of derivable languages. ...
متن کاملObservations on Strict Derivational Minimalism
Deviating from the definition originally presented in [12], Stabler [13] introduced— inspired by some recent proposals in terms of a minimalist approach to transformational syntax—a (revised) type of a minimalist grammar (MG) as well as a certain type of a strict minimalist grammar (SMG). These two types can be shown to determine the same class of derivable string languages.
متن کاملA Further Step towards a Minimalist Analysis of Japanese -no
This paper revisits the possessive particle no in Japanese, taking a minimalist approach and concludes that no does not instantiate Case, but rather a type of D introducing a (reduced) relative CP and attracts a nominal predicate to its left. We pursues a purely derivational account similar in spirit to den Dikken & Singhapreecha 2004 but better in empirical coverage, attributing different dist...
متن کاملLocality Conditions and the Complexity of Minimalist Grammars: A Preliminary Survey
Among the well-established variety of formal grammar types providing a mildly context-sensitive grammar (MCSG) formalism in the sense of Joshi (1985), Stabler’s minimalist grammars (MGs) (Stabler 1997, 1999) come closest to modeling the tools used in the Chomskyan branch of generative syntax known as “minimalism” (Chomsky 1995, 2000, 2001). Interestingly, without there being a rise in (at least...
