A well-known approach to treating syntactic island constraints in the setting of Lambek grammars consists in adding specific bracket modalities to the logic. We adapt this approach to abstract categorial grammars (ACG). Thus we define…
In (Van Benthem, 1991) it is proved that all permutation closures of context-free languages can be generated by grammars over the Lambek calculus with the permutation rule (LP-grammars); however, to our best knowledge, it is not established…
The method of brackets is an efficient method for the evaluation of a large class of definite integrals on the half-line. It is based on a small collection of rules, some of which are heuristic. The extension discussed here is based on the…
We show how categorial deduction can be implemented in higher-order (linear) logic programming, thereby realising parsing as deduction for the associative and non-associative Lambek calculi. This provides a method of solution to the parsing…
We present new descriptive complexity characterisations of classes REG (regular languages), LCFL (linear context-free languages) and CFL (context-free languages) as restrictions on inference rules, size of formulae and permitted connectives…
First-order multiplicative intuitionistic linear logic (MILL1) can be seen as an extension of the Lambek calculus. In addition to the fragment of MILL1 which corresponds to the Lambek calculus (of Moot & Piazza 2001), I will show fragments…
The multimodal Lambek calculus is an extension of the Lambek calculus that includes several product operations (some of them being commutative or/and associative), unary modalities, and corresponding residual implications. In this work, we…
Lambek's non-associative syntactic calculus (NL) excels in its resource consciousness: the usual structural rules for weakening, contraction, exchange and even associativity are all dropped. Recently, there have been proposals for…
We study the computational complexity of the parsing problem of a variant of Lambek Categorial Grammar that we call {\em semidirectional}. In semidirectional Lambek calculus $\SDL$ there is an additional non-directional abstraction rule…
We develop a vector space semantics for Lambek Calculus with Soft Subexponentials, apply the calculus to construct compositional vector interpretations for parasitic gap noun phrases and discourse units with anaphora and ellipsis, and…
The lambda calculus with constructors is an extension of the lambda calculus with variadic constructors. It decomposes the pattern-matching a la ML into a case analysis on constants and a commutation rule between case and application…
The derivation of the brackets among coordinates and momenta for classical constrained systems is a necessary step toward their quantization. Here we present a new approach for the determination of the classical brackets which does neither…
We analyze the complexity of decision problems for Boolean Nonassociative Lambek Calculus admitting empty antecedent of sequents ($\mathsf{BFNL^*}$), and the consequence relation of Distributive Full Nonassociative Lambek Calculus…
This note proposes a probabilistic language-free proof of the famous Croot-Laba-Sisask Lemma. In between, we do the same for the Khintchine and Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities and explicitate the implied constants.
In typical non-idempotent intersection type systems, proof normalization is not confluent. In this paper we introduce a confluent non-idempotent intersection type system for the lambda-calculus. Typing derivations are presented using proof…
A non-deterministic call-by-need lambda-calculus \calc with case, constructors, letrec and a (non-deterministic) erratic choice, based on rewriting rules is investigated. A standard reduction is defined as a variant of left-most outermost…
The displacement calculus $\mathbf{D}$ is a conservative extension of the Lambek calculus $\mathbf{L1}$ (with empty antecedents allowed in sequents). $\mathbf{L1}$ can be said to be the logic of concatenation, while $\mathbf{D}$ can be said…
Categorial type logics, pioneered by Lambek, seek a proof-theoretic understanding of natural language syntax by identifying categories with formulas and derivations with proofs. We typically observe an intuitionistic bias: a structural…
We extend the {\lambda}-calculus with constructs suitable for relational and functional-logic programming: non-deterministic choice, fresh variable introduction, and unification of expressions. In order to be able to unify…
We introduce proper display calculi for intuitionistic, bi-intuitionistic and classical linear logics with exponentials, which are sound, complete, conservative, and enjoy cut-elimination and subformula property. Based on the same design,…
