Chapter Combinatory Categorial Grammar

Abstract

In this handbook thirteen current approaches to syntactic description are presented (Part I) along with six studies on their metatheoretical underpinnings (Part II). The goal is to facilitate a systematic comparison among the approaches. All accounts address the same issues and are structured uniformly for an item-by-item survey across the frameworks. The volume is of interest for grammarians, philosophers of science, and cognitive scientists.
