This project in linguistic theory is investigating the possibilities and problems of an explicit theory of linguistic syntax and semantics which operates on a single level of representation, with rules with strictly defined and restricted formal properties. The basic research focuses upon a set of interrelated issues in the areas of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The first set has to do with how information about syntactic dependencies determines surface order and (more generally) with characterizing the combinatorial possibilities available to natural language in formal and computational terms. The second set of issues concerns the representation of the syntactic dependencies that arise in natural language. The goals of the project with respect to semantics are to articulate the logical and ontological foundations of a theory which makes computational constructions out of mental entities.

语言理论中的这个项目正在调查语言语法和语义的显式理论的可能性和问题，该理论在单个表示级别上运作，并具有严格定义和受限的正式属性的规则。 基础研究集中在语法，语义和语用学领域中的一系列相互关联的问题。 第一组与有关句法依赖关系的信息如何确定表面顺序，并且（更普遍地）以形式和计算术语来表征自然语言可用的组合可能性。 第二组问题涉及自然语言出现的句法依赖性的表示。 该项目关于语义的目标是阐明理论的逻辑和本体论基础，该理论使计算构造从精神实体中脱颖而出。
