Semilinearity as a syntactic invariant

Abstract

Mildly context sensitive grammar formalisms such as multi-component TAGs and linear context free rewrite systems have been introduced to capture the full complexity of natural languages. We show that, in a formal sense, Old Georgian can be taken to provide an example of a non-semilinear language. This implies that none of the aforementioned grammar formalisms is strong enough to generate this language.
