Abstract
Classifying linguistic objects is a widespread and important linguistic task, and computational linguistics often requires the deduction of a classificatory system from a general linguistic theory. Since hand deducing a classificatory system may consume much effort and introduce errors, a device that effectively deduces accurate classificatory systems from general linguistic theories would benefit computational linguistics. We present a prototypical abstract device that automatically deduces classificatory systems from finite linguistic theories.
This paper is an abridged version of [7]. The authors wish to thank the Seminar für Sprachwissenschaft, Tübingen, for hosting the writing of this paper, and the Internationales Zentrum, Tübingen, for funding Simov's visit to the Seminar. This paper is due in equal parts to both authors.
