Abstract
This paper presents learnability results from Typed Examples for some classes of Lambek Grammars, in the context of Gold’s model of identification in the limit. Typed Examples are semantic information and we show that, as soon as syntax and semantics are connected by some compositional morphism, they allow to learn rich syntactic formalisms. A learning strategy is also presented and exemplified.
