Slides:
Background readings:
2 interfaces:
- Simple type theory for basic semantics.
A good introduction is provided in chapters 2-3 of Carpenter 1998
-
Classics:
Church (1940),
Henkin (1950),
Barendregt (1992).
Extending simple type theory with recursive families of types: see
Capretta's 2002 thesis
-
Texts like Pierce (2002) or Sorensen & Urzyczyn (2006)
introduce much more type theory than we need for this class.
But a background in type theory is essential for understanding proposals like those in
Moortgat (2002),
Retoré & Lecomte (2003),
de Groote (2007),
Salvati (2005),
Barker & Jacobson (2007),
etc.
- For an introduction to morphology by composition of transducers see Roark&Sproat (2007).
OT phonology by transducer composition, see Riggle (2004),
Eisner (1997)
- For the daring, perhaps the most natural perspective on PF-syntax-LF is provided by tree transducers:
Michaelis, Mönnich & Morawietz (2001),
Kobele, Retoré & Salvati (2006)
