Combinatory Categorial Grammar

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract / Description of output

Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) is a radically lexicalized theory of grammar in which all language-specific information, including the linear order of heads, arguments, and adjuncts, is specified in the lexicon, from which it is projected onto sentences by language-independent universal type-dependent combinatory rules of low “slightly non-context-free” expressive power, applying to strictly adjacent phonologically-realised categories. Syntactic and phonological derivation are isomorphic, and are synchronously coupled with semantic composition in a purely type-dependent rule-to-rule relation.
