Alena on "Formal Restrictions on Multiple Tiers"
Hi all!
This Friday, Alena will present her recent manuscript "Formal Restrictions on Multiple Tiers". The abstract is below. See you all Friday!
Abstract: The class of tier-based strictly local (TSL) languages has shown itself as a good fit for natural language patterns. Although there are some cases when one …
Mai Ha Vu (UDelaware) on "Model-Theoretic Syntax"
