Erratum for “Formal Basis of a Language Universal”

Abstract

In the paper “Formal Basis of a Language Universal” by Miloš Stanojević and Mark Steedman in Computational Linguistics 47:1 (https://doi.org/10.1162/coli a 00394), there is an error in example (12) on page 17. The two occurrences of the notation nW should appear as jW. The paper has been updated so that the paragraph reads: In the full theory, these rules are generalized to “second level” cases, in which the secondary function is of the form (YjZ)jW such as the following “forward crossing” instance, in which— matches either = or n in both input and output: (12) The Forward Crossing Level Two Composition Rule.
