This ESSLLI workshop is devoted to connecting the linguistic use of resource logics and categorial grammar to minimalist grammars and related generative grammars. Minimalist grammars are relatively recent, and although they stem from a long tradition of work in transformational grammar, they are largely informal apart from a few research papers. The study of resource logics, on the other hand, is formal and stems naturally from a long logical tradition. So although there appear to be promising connections between these traditions, there is at this point a rather thin intersection between them. The papers in this workshop are consequently rather diverse, some addressing general similarities between the two traditions, and others concentrating on a thorough study of a particular point. Nevertheless they succeed in convincing us of the continuing interest of studying and developing the relationship between the minimalist program and resource logics. This introduction reviews some of the basic issues and prior literature. 1 The interest of a convergence What would be the interest of a convergence between resource logical investigations of
Syntax and Semantics interacting in a Minimalist theory
"... After several proposals of a logical account of minimalism [5, 4, 6, 1], on the basis of the formalization provided by Edward Stabler [7, 8], we explore more precisely the interface between syntax and semantics. The main idea is that, according to many observations made for instance by Ray Jackendof ..."

After several proposals of a logical account of minimalism [5, 4, 6, 1], on the basis of the formalization provided by Edward Stabler [7, 8], we explore more precisely the interface between syntax and semantics. The main idea is that, according to many observations made for instance by Ray Jackendoff [3], the logical form is not the mere result of a derivation after
Semantic Aspects of Minimalist Grammars ∗ Extended Abstract
"... Minimalist grammars are a rich lexicalized syntactic formalism which inherits the depth and wide covering of the generative tradition.

Minimalist grammars are a rich lexicalized syntactic formalism which inherits the depth and wide covering of the generative tradition. Nevertheless up to now there is no straightforward way to extract the predicative structure of a sentence from syntactic analyses and from the predicative structure of the lexical items. In this paper we try to apply to this richer syntactic model the traditional correspondence between categorial grammars and Montague semantics. A similar correspondence between syntax and semantics is obtained via a description of minimalist grammars as a deductive system.

a logical system for syntax, semantics and their correspondence After previous proposals concerning a logical account of minimalism, we go deeper into the interface between syntax and semantics. The main idea is that, according to many observations made for instance by Ray Jackendoff, the logical form is not a mere result of a derivation, after formal features consumption, but two tasks are performed on a par: the syntactic analysis on one side and the semantical analysis on the other side. Both analyses are connected by synchronization links in such a way that a parse can crash for (at least) two reasons: either because of a mismatch of syntactic features, or because of a failure in the semantic derivation. 1
Parsing Parallel Grammatical Representations

Traditional accounts of quantifier scope employ qualitative constraints or rules to account for scoping preferences. This paper outlines a feature-based parsing algorithm for a gram- mar with multiple simultaneous levels of representation, one of which corresponds to a partial ordering among quantifiers according to scope. The optimal such ordering (as well as the ranking of other orderings) is determined in this grammar not by absolute constraints, but by stochastic heuristics based on the degree of alignment among the representational levels. A Prolog implementation is described and its accuracy is compared with that of other accounts.

A Supervised Model for Extraction of Multiword Expressions Based on Statistical Context Features
"... We present a method for extracting Multi-word Expressions (MWEs) based on the immediate context they occur in, using a supervised model. We show some of these contextual features can be very discrim-inant and combining them with MWE-specific features results in a relatively ac-curate extraction. We ..."

We present a method for extracting Multi-word Expressions (MWEs) based on the immediate context they occur in, using a supervised model. We show some of these contextual features can be very discrim-inant and combining them with MWE-specific features results in a relatively ac-curate extraction. We define context as a sequential structure and not a bag of words, consequently, it becomes much more informative about MWEs. 1
