Know about the book -

Combinatory Linguistics(English, Electronic book text, Bozsahin Cem) is written by Bozsahin Cem and published by De Gruyter. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 311029687X (ISBN 10) and 9783110296877 (ISBN 13).

The book examines to what extent the mediating relation between constituents and their semantics can arise from combinatory knowledge of words. It traces the roots of Combinatory Categorial Grammar, and uses the theory to promote a Humean question in linguistics and cognitive science: Why do we see limited constituency and dependency in natural languages, despite their diversity and potential infinity? A potential answer is that constituents and dependencies might have arisen from a single resource: adjacency. The combinatory formulation of adjacency constrains possible grammars.
