Japanese preposed were translated using both postposed Thai Preposed used widely when they provided: 1) listed information; 2) grounded for comprehending main clauses; 3) framework within which a...

We study existence of a restricted least general generalization (LGG) with the property that LGGs of clauses from a pre-fixed set belong to this set. We show that there is no such LGG even in simple sets of clauses such as bounded-size clauses or treewidth-1 clauses.

LogicWeb has traditionally lacked devices for expressing mutually exclusive clauses. We address this limitation by adopting choice-conjunctive clauses of the form D0&D1 where D0,D1 are Horn clauses and & is a linear logic connective. Solving a goal G using D0&D1 – pv(D0&D1, G) – has the following operational semantics: choose a successful one between pv(D0, G) and pv(D1, G). In other words, if ...

In Danish it is possible to extract the subject out of an embedded interrogative clause. Extraction of the subject out of a relative clause, on the other hand, is not allowed. In this paper we present a formal HPSG analysis of extraction in Danish whi...
