We propose a categorial grammar based on classical multiplicative linear logic. This can be seen as an extension of abstract categorial grammars (ACG) and is at least as expressive. However, constituents of {\it linear logic grammars (LLG)}…
We propose a concrete surface representation of abstract categorial grammars in the category of word cobordisms or cowordisms for short, which are certain bipartite graphs decorated with words in a given alphabet, generalizing linear logic…
A prototypical example of categorial grammars are those based on Lambek calculus, i.e. noncommutative intuitionistic linear logic. However, it has been noted that purely noncommutative operations are often not sufficient for modeling even…
We consider tensor grammars, which are an example of \commutative" grammars, based on the classical (rather than intuitionistic) linear logic. They can be seen as a surface representation of abstract categorial grammars ACG in the sense…
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 this article we show that hybrid type-logical grammars are a fragment of first-order linear logic. This embedding result has several important consequences: it not only provides a simple new proof theory for the calculus, thereby…
A type theory is presented that combines (intuitionistic) linear types with type dependency, thus properly generalising both intuitionistic dependent type theory and full linear logic. A syntax and complete categorical semantics are…
Linear conjunctive grammars are a family of formal grammars with an explicit conjunction operation allowed in the rules, which is notable for its computational equivalence fo one-way real-time cellular automata, also known as trellis…
We introduce the logical grammar emdebbing (LGE), a model inspired by pregroup grammars and categorial grammars to enable unsupervised inference of lexical categories and syntactic rules from a corpus of text. LGE produces comprehensible…
To provide a categorical semantics for co-intuitionistic logic one has to face the fact, noted by Tristan Crolard, that the definition of co-exponents as adjuncts of coproducts does not work in the category Set, where coproducts are…
We give an introduction to logic tailored for algebraists, explaining how proofs in linear logic can be viewed as algorithms for constructing morphisms in symmetric closed monoidal categories with additional structure. This is made explicit…
Although unification can be used to implement a weak form of $\beta$-reduction, several linguistic phenomena are better handled by using some form of $\lambda$-calculus. In this paper we present a higher order feature description calculus…
A new family of categorial grammars is proposed, defined by enriching basic categorial grammars with a conjunction operation. It is proved that the formalism obtained in this way has the same expressive power as conjunctive grammars, that…
We define and study LNL polycategories, which abstract the judgmental structure of classical linear logic with exponentials. Many existing structures can be represented as LNL polycategories, including LNL adjunctions, linear exponential…
The present work presents some results about the categorial relation between logics and its categories of structures. A (propositional, finitary) logic is a pair given by a signature and Tarskian consequence relation on its formula algebra.…
We first recall some basic notions on minimalist grammars and on categorial grammars. Next we shortly introduce partially commutative linear logic, and our representation of minimalist grammars within this categorial system, the so-called…
This paper defines a new proof- and category-theoretic framework for classical linear logic that separates reasoning into one linear regime and two persistent regimes corresponding to ! and ?. The resulting linear/producer/consumer (LPC)…
A number of models of linear logic are based on or closely related to linear algebra, in the sense that morphisms are "matrices" over appropriate coefficient sets. Examples include models based on coherence spaces, finiteness spaces and…
We present a categorical model for intuitionistic linear logic where objects are polynomial diagrams and morphisms are simulation diagrams. The multiplicative structure (tensor product and its adjoint) can be defined in any locally…
We study relationship between first order multiplicative linear logic (MLL1), which has been known to provide representations to different categorial grammars, and the recently introduced extended tensor type calculus (ETTC). We identify a…
