Categorial Grammar: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 1 by Dean Liu and Version 2 by Dean Liu.

Categorial grammar is a formal approach to syntax in which linguistic expressions are assigned categories that specify their distribution and the types of expressions with which they can combine to form larger constituents [1][2]. In this framework, basic categories typically include noun phrases and sentences, while complex categories represent expressions that require particular arguments to yield another category. Syntactic composition is modeled through category-sensitive combination rules, linking grammatical structure with semantic interpretation and providing a formal account of how words and phrases combine into well-formed expressions [1][2].
