"A Model of Certain Subsystems of Natural
Language Syntax/Morphosyntax"
A highly restricted combinatoric system (called "CAT") seems to be a
reasonable candidate model of certain subsystems of natural language
syntax/morphosyntax, such as inflectional morphology and verb
clustering, but not other aspects of syntactic form, such as long
distance movement. Inflectional morphology and verb clustering are
notorious for having surface forms that are mirrors, but imperfect
ones, of the underlying structure of the concepts that they represent.
CAT is meant to be a theory of the narrowly canalized deviations in
these systems from perfect faithfulness to underlying structures.
