Derivational Minimalism is Mildly Context-Sensitive
- this paper we address the issue by showing that each MG as deøned in [3] falls into the class of mildly contextsensitive grammars (MCSGs) as described in e.g. [1]. The proof of our claim is essentially done by converting a given MG into a linear contextfree rewriting system (LCFRS) which derives the

Some Formal Implications of a Revised Perspective on Minimalist Grammars
- The type of a minimalist grammar (MG) as introduced by Stabler [12] provides an attempt of a rigorous formalization of the perspectives adopted nowadays within the linguistic framework of transformational grammar. As shown by Michaelis [6], MGs expose a weakly equivalent subclass of multiple con

Observations on Strict Derivational Minimalism
- Deviating from the denition as originally presented in [11], Stabler [12] introduced inspired by some recent proposals within the minimalist framework a (revised) type of a minimalist grammar (MG) as well as a certain type of a strict MG. These two types can be shown to determine the same class of d

A Note on Countercyclicity and Minimalist Grammars
- Introduction Minimalist grammars (MGs), as introduced in Stabler (1997), have proven a useful instrument in the formal analysis of syntactic theories developed within the minimalist branch of the principles--and--parameters framework (cf. Chomsky 1995, 2000). In fact, as shown in Michaelis (2001),

Semilinearity as a Syntactic Invariant
- . Mildly context sensitive grammar formalisms such as multicomponent TAGs and linear context free rewrite systems have been introduced to capture the full complexity of natural languages. We show that, in a formal sense, Old Georgian can be taken to provide an example of a non-semilinear languag

How linguistic constraints on movement conspire to yield languages analyzable with a restricted form of LIGs
- . Within a GB--like framework movement out of an object seems to be a valid concept for the description of natural languages whereas movement out of subjects and adjuncts is almost impossible. In a framework in which the notion object is determined configurationally, this condition on movement restr

Unidirectional Inheritance of Indices - A Weakly Context Free Facet of LIGs
- . In this paper a restricted type of linear indexed grammar (LIG) is defined, called unidirectional indexed grammar (UIG). This is done essentially by demanding that the inheritance of an index stack is either strictly rightmost or strictly leftmost as long as the stack is not empty. Although they t

Workshop TAG+5, Paris, 25-27 May 2000
- In this paper we extend the work by Michaelis (1999) which shows how to encode an arbitrary Minimalist Grammar in the sense of Stabler (1997) into a weakly equivalent multiple contextfree grammar (MCFG). By viewing MCFG rules as terms in a free Lawvere theory we can translate a given MCFG into a reg
