Modeling Syntactic Complexity with P Systems: A Preview

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 8553))

Abstract

Membrane systems have been applied to several branches of linguistics, taking advantage of their possibilities when describing contexts and environments. However, not much research has been performed in the field of modeling syntax. The paper introduces a preliminary approach to syntactic complexity using the basic operations of membranes.

First author’s research has been supported by a IEF Marie Curie Fellowship.
