$π$-augmented pregroups and applications to linguistics
We enrich pregroups with a mapping which allows us to locally apply precyclic permutations to designated substrings. We prove a normalisation theorem for such algebraic structures and briefly formalise some known applications of pregroups to the analysis of clitic pronouns in certain natural languages.

Lambek pregroups are Frobenius spiders in preorders
"Spider" is a nickname of special Frobenius algebras, a fundamental structure from mathematics, physics, and computer science. Pregroups are a fundamental structure from linguistics. Pregroups and spiders have been used …
An algebraic approach to translating Japanese
We use Lambek's pregroups and the framework of compositional distributional models of language ("DisCoCat") to study translations from Japanese to English as pairs of functors. Adding decorations to pregroups we show how…

Mathematical Foundations for a Compositional Distributional Model of Meaning
We propose a mathematical framework for a unification of the distributional theory of meaning in terms of vector space models, and a compositional theory for grammatical types, for which we rely on the algebra of Pregrou…
SentencePregroup Grammars, their Syntax and Semantics
Pregroup grammars were developed in 1999 and stayed Lambek's preferred algebraic model of grammar. The set-theoretic semantics of pregroups, however, faces an ambiguity problem. In his latest book, Lambek suggests that t…
