Hybrid type-logical grammars, first-order linear logic and the descriptive inadequacy of lambda grammars

On September 5, 2017
Lead by Symon Stevens Guille

Symon will lead discussion of “Hybrid type-logical grammars, first-order linear logic and the descriptive inadequacy of lambda grammars” by Richard Moot

Symon says:

I’ll be leading a discussion on Richard Moot’s paper embedding HTLCG and the Displacement calculus in First Order Linear Logic. Please read as much of the paper as you can. There likely won’t be a handout and I will rely on active participation; maximally it will be sparse and focus on major theorems. There are certain things I want to emphasize but others may have great insight as well. Unlike last week, this will be a discussion not a paper presentation. Attached is the literature; read as much as possible (it’s long) but relax—we won’t cover it all.
