This is the web page for the Dynamic Syntax Research Group based at King's College London. It is composed of a group of researchers based mainly in the department of Philosophy at KCL with collaboration with other researchers elsewhere (Edinburgh, SOAS, Stanford).Dynamic Syntax
Dynamic Syntax is a grammar formalism designed to reflect directly the left-right (time-linear) sequence of natural language processing.
The framework centres on LOFT (Blackburn & Meyer-Viol 1994), a modal logic of finite trees, which is used to define concepts of tree growth for characterising how interpretation of strings expressed as a decorated tree structure is developed on a word-by-word basis. The framework has been applied to a range of natural language phenomena, exploring in particular the interaction between anaphora resolution and structural forms of underspecification in natural-language interpretation.
The framework has been demonstrated to provide a natural basis for expressing typologies of relative clause structures, left-periphery structures, and WH questions. Development of the framework has been funded by ESRC, EPSRC, Leverhulme and AHRC.
