The Lambek calculus is a well-known logical formalism for modelling natural language syntax. The original calculus covered a substantial number of intricate natural language phenomena, but only those restricted to the context-free setting. In order to address more subtle linguistic issues, the Lambek calculus has been extended in various ways. In particular, Morrill and Valentin (2015) introduce an extension with so-called exponential and bracket modalities. Their extension is based on a non-standard contraction rule for the exponential that interacts with the bracket structure in an intricate way. The standard contraction rule is not admissible in this calculus. In this paper we prove undecidability of the derivability problem in their calculus. We also investigate restricted decidable fragments considered by Morrill and Valentin and we show that these fragments belong to the NP class.

Formulae of the Lambek calculus are constructed using three binary connectives, multiplication and two divisions. We extend it using a unary connective, positive Kleene iteration. For this new operation, following its natural interpretation, we prese nt two lines of calculi. The first one is a fragment of infinitary action logic and includes an omega-rule for introducing iteration to the antecedent. We also consider a version with infinite (but finitely branching) derivations and prove equivalence of these t

We consider the Lambek calculus, or non-commutative multiplicative intuitionistic linear logic, extended with iteration, or Kleene star, axiomatised by means of an $omega$-rule, and prove that the derivability problem in this calculus is $Pi_1^0$-har d. This solves a problem left open by Buszkowski (2007), who obtained the same complexity bound for infinitary action logic, which additionally includes additive conjunction and disjunction. As a by-product, we prove that any context-free language without the empty word can be generated by a Lambek grammar with unique type assignment, without Lambeks non-emptiness restriction imposed (cf. Safiullin 2007).
We investigate language interpretations of two extensions of the Lambek calculus: with additive conjunction and disjunction and with additive conjunction and the unit constant. For extensions with additive connectives, we show that conjunction and di sjunction behave differently. Adding both of them leads to incompleteness due to the distributivity law. We show that with conjunction only no issues with distributivity arise. In contrast, there exists a corollary of the distributivity law in the language with disjunction only which is not derivable in the non-distributive system. Moreover, this difference keeps valid for systems with permutation and/or weakening structural rules, that is, intuitionistic linear and affine logics and affine multiplicative-additive Lambek calculus. For the extension of the Lambek with the unit constant, we present a calculus which reflects natural algebraic properties of the empty word. We do not claim completeness for this calculus, but we prove undecidability for the whole range of systems extending this minimal calculus and sound w.r.t. language models. As a corollary, we show that in the language with the unit there exissts a sequent that is true if all variables are interpreted by regular language, but not true in language models in general.
Lambek calculus is a logical foundation of categorial grammar, a linguistic paradigm of grammar as logic and parsing as deduction. Pentus (2010) gave a polynomial-time algorithm for determ- ining provability of bounded depth formulas in the Lambek ca lculus with empty antecedents allowed. Pentus algorithm is based on tabularisation of proof nets. Lambek calculus with brackets is a conservative extension of Lambek calculus with bracket modalities, suitable for the modeling of syntactical domains. In this paper we give an algorithm for provability the Lambek calculus with brackets allowing empty antecedents. Our algorithm runs in polynomial time when both the formula depth and the bracket nesting depth are bounded. It combines a Pentus-style tabularisation of proof nets with an automata-theoretic treatment of bracketing.
