Reduplicated Constructions in Chinese and Questions of Generative Power.
Calder, Jonathan
A study of problems posed by Mandarin Chinese data for modern linguistic theory focuses on the reduplication involved in the "A-not-A" construction. The Mandarin data and its possible descriptions are used to investigate the question of whether context-free languages are adequate to describe certain linguistic data. These data constitute a case against the claims of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar. (MSE)
