Syntax-semantics interface: an algebraic model
Matilde Marcolli, Robert C. Berwick, Noam Chomsky
We extend our formulation of Merge and Minimalism in terms of Hopf algebras to an algebraic model of a syntactic-semantic interface. We show that methods adopted in the formulation…
Old and New Minimalism: a Hopf algebra comparison
Matilde Marcolli, Robert C. Berwick, Noam Chomsky
In this paper we compare some old formulations of Minimalism, in particular Stabler's computational minimalism, and Chomsky's new formulation of Merge and Minimalism, from the poin…
Mathematical Structure of Syntactic Merge
Matilde Marcolli, Noam Chomsky, Robert Berwick
The syntactic Merge operation of the Minimalist Program in linguistics can be described mathematically in terms of Hopf algebras, with a formalism similar to the one arising in the…
