yeah, I guess I should read that paper. Not having read it, I'll stick to my original assertion: link-grammars are categorial grammers are more or less the same thing, just using a different notation.
There are, however, a few tricks we've learned over the years: -- proposition 3 deals with cycle-free linkages, and its now quite clear that cycles are strongly desirable for constraining the number of linkages, so any grammar that is cycle free is going to loose. Section 4.1.3 notes this. -- non-planar cycles are probably going to be particularly important, but that research has not yet been done aka "landmark transitivity" -- assigning liklihoods is my current direction of research. Its where the rubber hits the road. Its what the word-vector people work on, and I think that LG/CCG offer superior approaches to flat vectors. -- repulsivity or mutual repulsion/exclusion is important for understanding. Given two similar, nearly identical parses, the correct one is the one that either aligns the most closely with previous parses, or the one that is most strongly different from previous parses. The middle ground must always be ceeded as being wrong. This is not a philosophical statement, rather, it is a statement about how human minds actually work, when working with meaning. Example: if you are looking at a bird dropping on the sidewalk, and someone says "look over here", they probably do NOT mean "look at this ladybug crawling on this leaf". They are directing attention at something very different, rather than at something else that is similar but narrow.
