On Pernicious Recursion

Fries, Peter H.

Studia Anglica Posnaniensia, 4, 1-2, 35-50, 72

The implications of the properties of certain recursive rules are explored. It is concluded that (a) no completely coherent system of rules could allow perniciously recursive rules, and (b) certain constructions of English can only be described using perniciously recursive rules. See FL 508 197 for availability. (Author/RM)
