Integrating "free" word order syntax and information structure

Year: 1995

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Multiset-CCG is a combinatory categorial formalism that can capture the syntax and interpretation of "free" word order in languages such as Turkish. The formalism compositionally derives the predicate-argument structure and the information structure (e.g. topic, focus) of a sentence, and uniformly handles word order variation among arguments and adjuncts within a clause, as well as in complex clauses and across clause boundaries.
