Cross-Categorial Grammar

Cross-Categorial Grammar (CCG) is a linguistic framework that describes how words combine to form sentences. It assigns each word a category, such as a noun or a verb, along with instructions on how it interacts with other words. These categories specify what type of words can connect and how, allowing complex sentences to be built systematically. CCG helps explain sentence structure by focusing on the rules of combination, making it useful for understanding language syntax, semantics, and parsing in computational linguistics. It provides a versatile, formal way to analyze language while capturing its flexibility and complexity.
