Identifiability of a Class of Transformational Grammars

  • Chapter
Approaches to Natural Language

Part of the book series: Synthese Library ((SYLI,volume 49))

Abstract

This paper extends a formal theory of language learning to transformational components. Learning procedures which are psychologically more suggestive than those previously studied are shown to yield positive results under formally specified conditions. Part 1 introduces the general class of problems to be studied; Part 2 states and discusses various possible assumptions; and Part 3 sketches the proof for a particular case of interest. For a complete proof, see Hamburger (1971).
