Parsing CCGbank with the Lambek Calculus

This paper will analyze CCGbank, a corpus of CCG derivations, for use with the Lambek calculus. We also present a Java implementation of the parsing algorithm for the Lambek calculus presented in Fowler (2009) and the results of experiments using that algorithm to parse the categories in CCGbank. We conclude that the Lambek calculus is computationally tractable for this task and provide insight into a full conversion of CCGbank to a bank of Lambek derivations.
