Adding communicative structure to the MMT into ACG encoding
Résumé
Meaning-text theory (MTT) is a linguistic theory aiming at describing the correspondence between the meaning of an utterance and its surface form. We use abstract categorial grammars (ACGs), a grammatical formalism based on λ-calculus, to implement a version of a model of MTT, from the semantic representation level to the surface syntactic one. This implementation hinges upon abstract categorial grammars composition in order to encode level transitions with transduction operations.
Cousin (2023a,b) offers an encoding of MTT into ACGs, but only takes the predicative structures into account. However, MTT relies heavily on the communicative structures that come along the predicative ones. Theme and rheme play an crucial role in MTT as they determine which deep-syntactic graph will be obtained from the semantic one, e.g., producing a verbal phrase or a noun phrase. This paper extends Cousin (2023a)'s encoding with communicative structure information.
