Lyntax - A grammar-Based Tool for Linguistics

Authors: Manuel Gouveia Carneiro de Sousa, Maria João Varanda Pereira, and Pedro Rangel Henriques

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 94, 10th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2021)


Abstract
This paper is focused on using the formalism of attribute grammars to create a tool that allows Linguistic teachers to construct automatically their own processors totally adapted to each linguistic exercise. The system developed, named Lyntax, is a compiler for a domain specific language which intends to enable the teacher to specify different kinds of sentence structures, and then, ask the student to test his own sentences against those structures. The processor Lyntax validates the grammar (DSL program) written by the teacher, generating a processor every time the student defines a new sentence. For that ANTLR is used in both steps, generating not only the specialized processor but also the visualization of the syntax tree for analysis purposes. An interface that supports the specification of the language was built, also allowing the use of the processor and the generation of the specific grammar, abstracting the user of any calculations.

Aleph1 and the Modal mu-Calculus

Authors: Maria João Gouveia and Luigi Santocanale

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 82, 26th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2017)


Abstract
For a regular cardinal kappa, a formula of the modal mu-calculus is kappa-continuous in a variable x if, on every model, its interpretation as a unary function of x is monotone and preserves unions of kappa-directed sets. We define the fragment C1 (x) of the modal mu-calculus and prove that all the formulas in this fragment are aleph_1-continuous. For each formula phi(x) of the modal mu-calculus, we construct a formula psi(x) in C1 (x) such that phi(x) is kappa-continuous, for some kappa, if and only if psi(x) is equivalent to phi(x). Consequently, we prove that (i) the problem whether a formula is kappa-continuous for some kappa is decidable, (ii) up to equivalence, there are only two fragments determined by continuity at some regular cardinal: the fragment C0(x) studied by Fontaine and the fragment C1 (x). We apply our considerations to the problem of characterizing closure ordinals of formulas of the modal mu-calculus. An ordinal alpha is the closure ordinal of a formula phi(x) if its interpretation on every model converges to its least fixed-point in at most alpha steps and if there is a model where the convergence occurs exactly in alpha steps. We prove that omega_1, the least uncountable ordinal, is such a closure ordinal. Moreover we prove that closure ordinals are closed under ordinal sum. Thus, any formal expression built from 0, 1, omega, omega_1 by using the binary operator symbol + gives rise to a closure ordinal.
