Categorial Crammar and Type Ambiguity of Japanese Particles
Get PDFThe purpose of this article is to present a new type-shifting rule from to >, which I call d-rule. This unknown raising is called for in view of the polymorphism of Japanese particles, kakari zyosi, such as wa, mo, sae, dake and sika, which undergo an extraordinary type-shift between , , , , , >, as well as the determiner type >. None of the present type-shifting rules in the framework of Combinatory Categorial Grammar, or `Geach Rule,' Montague Rule,' argument lowering' in Partee and Rooth (1983), or 'z-rule' (Jacobson 1999) in Flexible Categorial Grammar is applicable to these natural language phenomena. The fact that kakari particles undergo type-shift to determinertype, as attested to by Weak Crossover effects, requires such a novel type-raising rule
