Dutch Grammar and Processing: A Case Study in TLG

The aim of this paper is to see type logical grammar (TLG) at work on an interesting linguistic case: the incremental processing of Dutch subordinate clause word order, namely the so-called cross-serial dependencies. With the help of proof net machinery adapted for the continuous and discontinuous Lambek calculus we are able to account for the increasing unacceptability of cross-serial dependencies with increasingly multiple embeddings.
