Pregroups are mathematical structures introduced by the mathematician J. Lambek as an algebraic procedure for generating the syntax of natural languages; they have been applied to the grammatical analysis of a wide range of languages: from French and Italian, to Arabic, Persian and many more. Pregroups are non-commutative structures, but there are different kinds of movements in the syntax of natural languages, e.g. those caused by clitic pronouns. In this paper we introduce two meta-rules, derived from cyclic linear logic, and use them to formalize movement of clitic clusters in Persian, French, and Italian.

Abstract

Pregroups are mathematical structures introduced by the mathematician J. Lambek as an algebraic procedure for generating the syntax of natural languages; they have been applied to the grammatical analysis of a wide range of languages: from French and Italian, to Arabic, Persian and many more. Pregroups are non-commutative structures, but there are different kinds of movements in the syntax of natural languages, e.g. those caused by clitic pronouns. In this paper we introduce two meta-rules, derived from cyclic linear logic, and use them to formalize movement of clitic clusters in Persian, French, and Italian.

Edited in collaboration with FoLLI, the Association of Logic, Language and Information, this book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Tbilisi Symposium on Logic, Language, and Computation, TbiLLC 2009, held in Bakuriani, Georgia, September 21-25, 2009. The 20 revised full papers included in the book were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous presentations given at the symposium. The focus of the papers is on the following topics: natural language syntax, semantics, and pragmatics; constructive, modal and algebraic logic; linguistic typology and semantic universals; logics for artificial intelligence; information retrieval, query answer systems; logic, games, and formal pragmatics; language evolution and learnability; computational social choice; historical linguistics, history of logic.
Type Logical Grammars; pregroup; natural languages; clitic pronouns
