Title: On Natural Language Stringsets, Senses, and Generative Capacity.
Authors: Radzinski, Daniel (AUTHOR) radzinski@gmail.com
Source: Computational Linguistics. Jun2026, Vol. 52 Issue 2, p831-840. 10p.
Subjects: Semantics, Mathematical proofs, Formal languages, Language & languages, Lexicology, Natural languages
Abstract: It is demonstrated that the proofs given in prominent and well-established weak generative capacity arguments for natural language are flawed, due to unexpected interpretations of strings. However, once unique representations of lexical semantic senses form part of such intersection-based proofs, the arguments stand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
