Abstract
Chapter three has introduced categorial grammar as formulated on the foundations of type theory and substructural logic presented in chapter two. As logic formalisms, the Lambek calculi attract mathematical interest in their own right. In terms of application to natural language grammar however, their mathematical elegance can seem to imply unsuitability: surely not many facets of natural language can be construed in such simple structures? Indeed we do not get far at all before it is apparent that extensions to the basic systems are required.
