It allows sentences like Mary admires, and may enjoy, musicals to be accepted, via the functional composition of two verbs (indexed as >B), to yield a composite of the same category as a transitive verb. Crucially, composition also yields the appropriate interpretation for the composite verb may prefer in this sentence (the rest of the derivation is as in (3)): (s\\~)/~P CCG also allows type-raising rules, related to the combinator T, which turn arguments into functions over functions-over-such-arguments. These rules allow arguments to compose, and thereby lake part in coordinations like I dislike, and Mary enjoys, musicals. They too have an invariant compositional semantics which ensures that the result has an appropriate interpretation. For example, the following rule allows such conjuncts to form as below (again, the remainder of the derivation is omitted): (8) Subject ~pe-raising: This apparatus has been applied to a wide variety of phenomena of long-range dependency and coordinate structure (cf. [2] , [5] , [6] ). 1 For example, Dowty proposed to account for the notorious \"non-constituent\" coordination in (10) by adding two rules that are simply the backward mitre-image versions of the composition and type raising rules already given (they are indicated in the derivation by <B and <T). 2 This is a welcome result: not only do we capture a construction that has been resistant to other formalisms. We also satisfy a prediction of the theory, for the two backward rules arc clearly expected once we have chosen to introduce their mirror image originals. The earlier papers show that, provided type raising is limited to the two \"order preserving\" varieties exemplified in these examples, the above reduction is the only one permitted by the lexicon of English. A number of related cross-linguistic regularities in the dependency of gapping upon basic word order follow ( [2] , [6] ). The construction also strongly suggests that all NPs (etc.) should be considered as type raised, preferably I One further class of rules, corresponding to the combinator S, has been proposed. This combinator is not discussed here, but all the present results transfer to tho6e rules as well.",

The basic form of a combinatory rule under the principle of adjacency is a fl ~ ~,. However, this notation leaves the linear order of ot and fl implicit. We therefore temporarily expand the notation, replacing categories like NP by 4-tuples, of the form {e~, DPa, L~, Ra}, comprising: a) a type such as NP; b) a Distinguished Position, which we will come to in a minute; c) a Leftend position; and d) a Right-end position.

It is important to note that while the binding of the NP argument's Distinguished Position to its left hand end L,p means that enjoy is a rightward function, the distinguished position is not bound to the right hand end of the verb, t~verb. It follows that the verb can potentially combine with an argument elsewhere, just so long as it is to the right. This property was crucial to the earlier analysis of heavy NP shift.

To conform to the principle of consistency, it is necessary that L~ and /~, the ends of the cancelling category Y, be distinct positions -that is, that Y not be coerced to the empty string. This condition is implicit in the Principle of Adjacency (see above), although in the notation of the appendix it has to be explicitly imposed. These schemata permit only the four instances of the rules of composition proposed in [5] [6] , given in (25) in the basic CCG notation. \"Crossed\" rules like (15) are still allowed Coecause of the non-identity noted in the discussion of (18) between the distinguished position of arguments of functions and the position of the function itself). They are distinguished from the corresponding non-crossing rules by further specifying DP~, the distinguished position on Z. However, no rule violating the Principle of Inheritance, like (14), is allowed: such a rule would require a different distinguished position on the two Zs, and would therefore not be functional composition at all.

However, because of the way in which the directional constraints are here grounded in relative string position, rather than being primitive to the system, the present proposal avoids certain difficulties in the earlier treatment. Zeevat's type-raised categories are actually order-changing, and require the lexical category for the English predicate to be S/NP instead of S\\NP. (Cf. [9, It is important to be clear that, while the order preserving constraint is very simply imposed, it is nevertheless an additional stipulation, imposed by the form of the type raising rule (26). We could have used a unique variable, DPpr,a say, in the crucial position in (26), unrelated to the positional condition DP~r9 on the argument of the predicate itself, to define the distinguished position of the predicate argument of the raised category, as in example (32). However, this tactic would yield a completely unconstrained type raising rule, whose result category could not merely be substituted throughout the lexicon for ground categories like NP without grammatical collapse. (Such categories immediately induce totally free word-order, for example permitting (31) on the English lexicon). It seems likely that type raising is universally confined to the order-preserving kind, and that the sources of so-called free word order lie elsewhere. Such a constraint can therefore be understood in terms of the present proposal simply as a requirement for the lexicon itself to be consistent. It should also be observed that a uniformly order-changing category of the kind proposed by Zeevat et al. is not possible under this theory.",
