Abstract
Previous studies have provided logical representations and efficient recognition algorithms for a simple kind of “minimalist grammars.” This paper extends these grammars with head movement (“incorporation”) and affix hopping. The grammars are presented as lexicons together with CKY-like reduction rules, so an efficient CKY-like recognition method is immediately given, and logical perspectives are briefly considered.
