Abstract

This paper proposes an approach to control extraction in the framework of Abstract Categorial Grammar (ACG). As examples, we consider embedded wh-extraction, multiple wh-extraction and tensed-clauses as scope islands. The approach relies on an extended type system for ACG that introduces dependent types and advocates for a treatment at a rather abstract (tectogrammatical) level. Then we discuss approaches that put control at the object (phenogrammatical) level, using appropriate calculi.
