1. C-Command Dependencies as TSL String Constraints

   Graf, Thomas, and Nazila Shafiei

   Abstract We provide a general formal framework for analyzing c-command based dependencies in syntax, e.g. binding and NPI licensing, from a subregular perspective. C-command relations are represented as strings computed from Minimalist derivation trees, and syntactic dependencies are shown …

2. Subregular Syntax: The What, How, and Why

   Graf, Thomas

   Abstract It is a well-known fact of computational linguistics that syntax is mildly context-sensitive and thus highly complex —- certainly more complex than phonology or morphology. This complexity is at odds with the ease of language acquisition and the impressive speed of human sentence …

5. Adjunction to Movement Paths: Floating Quantifiers as the Little Brother of Parasitic Gaps

   Graf, Thomas

   Abstract A lot of recent work in computational phonology seeks to pinpoint the complexity of phonotactic dependencies from a formal perspective. Numerous mathematical classes have been proposed, but Graf (2017) subsumes them all under the umbrella of interval-based strictly piecewise dependencies (IBSP). IBSP …
