金沢誠 (Kanazawa Makoto) 国立情報学研究所(National Institute of Informatics)Syntactic Features for Regular Constraints in Abstract Categorial GrammarsACG is a mathematical grammar formalism introduced by de Groote (2001) and Muskens (2001, 2003). One of its prominent features is the symmetry between “form” and “meaning”. Importantly, it is *not* a linguistic theory—it is compatible with many different styles of linguistic analysis. The failure to understand this point has led some people to believe ACG is somehow inadequate or inferior to categorial grammars in the Lambek tradition.In this talk, I give a brief introduction to ACG and illustrate the usefulness of one of its formal properties that has to do with syntactic features. Roughly speaking, any kind of reasonable constraint on word order can be captured by introduction of a syntactic feature with a finite number of values. In particular, this is useful to constrain the positions of “gaps” in a categorial-style analysis of a variety of constructions, including Right Node Raising and Gapping.
