  • Need to add explanation of how up and down arrows are used, as well as recursion to show that a lexicon can generate an infinite grammar and currying to deal with lexes that take multiple complements.


Please don't dumb down this page; it is not too technical. I know nothing about this, yet it's intuitive from the example, how the VP-> cancels with the <-VP, etc. It resembles a kind of organic chemistry whereby the elements have certain "valences" and "react" with other elements to synthesize molecules. Very neat.
