  • Glue Semantics

    Ash AsudehARTICLEAnnual Review of Linguistics2021References: 6

    Glue Semantics (Glue) is a general framework for semantic composition and the syntax–semantics interface. The framework grew out of an interdisciplinary collaboration at the intersection of formal linguistics, formal logic, and computer science. Glue assumes a separate level of syntax; this can be any syntactic framework in which syntactic structures have heads. Glue uses a fragment of linear logic for semantic composition. General linear logic t…

  • Perspectives

    Open AccessAsh Asudeh, Gianluca GiorgoloARTICLESemantics and Pragmatics2016

    We present a new solution to long-standing puzzles about substitution of co-referential terms. Our solution is based on a notion of perspective, where the speaker’s perspective can be differentiated from the perspective of the agent whose thoughts, beliefs, etc., the speaker is reporting. Our formalization is a conservative extension of the simply-typed lambda calculus utilizing monads, a construction in category theory that provides a way to map…

  • With Lexical Integrity

    Ash Asudeh, Ida ToivonenARTICLETheoretical Linguistics2014

    Müller and Wechsler (MW) contrast lexical (lexicalist) and phrasal (constructional) approaches and conclude that a lexical approach is to be preferred. They present a careful review of the arguments that have been presented for both positions, and they also introduce several new arguments for the lexicalist position. The target article is commendable in many respects, including its thoroughness. However, their representation of our position on Le…

  • Response to David Adger's ‘Remarks on Minimalist feature theory and Move’

    Open AccessAsh Asudeh, Ida ToivonenARTICLEJournal of Linguistics2006References: 2

    David Adger raises some interesting issues and makes several valuable points in his ‘Remarks on Minimalist feature theory and Move’ (henceforth MFTM), a response to our review article ‘Symptomatic imperfections’ (henceforth SI) in this journal (Asudeh & Toivonen 2006), which was in part a review of his Core syntax (Adger 2003). In this response, we address some of the points in MFTM. We would also like to set the record straight about some points…

  • Control and semantic resource sensitivity

    Open AccessAsh AsudehARTICLEJournal of Linguistics2005Cited by: 10References: 2

    This paper examines tensions between the syntax of control and semantic resource sensitivity. Structure sharing of controller and control target leads to apparent RESOURCE DEFICIT under certain circumstances. An analysis is presented using Glue Semantics for Lexical Functional Grammar. It demonstrates that structure sharing and resource sensitivity can be reconciled without giving up or relaxing either notion. It is shown that the analysis can ha…

  • Probabilistic Learning Algorithms and Optimality Theory

    Frank Keller, Ash AsudehARTICLELinguistic Inquiry2002Cited by: 5References: 20

    This article provides a critical assessment of the Gradual Learning Algorithm (GLA) for probabilistic optimality-theoretic (OT) grammars proposed by Boersma and Hayes (2001). We discuss the limitations of a standard algorithm for OT learning and outline how the GLA attempts to overcome these limitations. We point out a number of serious shortcomings with the GLA: (a) A methodological problem is that the GLA has not been tested on unseen data, whi…
