Abstract
Recent work has shown how basic ideas of the minimalist tradition intransformational syntax can be captured in a simple generative formalism, a"der:"AII] al minimalism." Thisfr]]I[L" can model "rel nant movement" analyses, which yield mor e complex antecedent-tr ace r elations, suggesting a new and significant sense in which linguistic str ctur esar "chain based." Michaelis (1998) showed that these grI] mar cor" spond to a certain kind of linear context free r write system, and this paper takes the next step of adapting ther ecognition methods for "non-concatenative"grOO[]" (Weir 1988; Seki et al., 1991; Boullier , 1999). This tur ns out to be quite straightforward once the grammars are set out appropriately.
