Logics for linguistic structures

This book researches the various ways of saying 'yes' and 'no' in Welsh. In many languages, responding with 'yes' or 'no' is simple. This work shows that in Welsh a variety of forms can be used, depending upon syntax, morphology, lexis and semantics.The work will appeal to scholars of various interests: the chapters which analyse the answering system provide interesting data for theorists and comparative linguists; the chapters which describe and attempt to explain variation will be of interest to sociolinguists; and, of course, the whole work will appeal to Celticists Type theory with records and unification-based grammar / Robin Cooper -- One-letter automata : how to reduce k tapes to one / Hristo Ganchev, Stoyan Mihov, and Klaus U.
