TITLE
[Lecture Series on the Mathematical Structure of Language] Mathematical models of generative linguistics
ABSTRACT
I will present a model of language, within the framework of Chomsky's Strong Minimalist Thesis and Merge model of syntax, based on Hopf algebras and Birkhoff factorization as a model of the syntax semantics interface, similar to the mathematical structure of renormalization in physics. The lectures are based on joint work with Noam Chomsky and Robert Berwick.
