The goal of this paper is to provide an implemented grammar for Korean right node raising (RNR) constructions in the Type-inherited Combinatory Categorial Grammar (TCCG) system. In Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG), the RNR constructions have been analyzed with four syntactic operations: type-raising, functional composition, coordination, and functional application. This paper demonstrates how these four syntactic operations can be implemented in the feature-structure formalism of the TCCG. In the syntactic literature, the RNR construction has been one of the interesting topics because it is known to be related with ellipsis. Therefore, it is important to recover the elided parts in the MRS structure (in the semantic interpretations) for the constructions. In order to handle the elided parts in the MRS structure, this paper divides coordination into two sub-types, type-raised coordination and non-type-raised coordination. This paper derives the semantic interpretations of the RNR constructions by the constraints on the type-raised coordination. Through the implementation, this paper shows how syntax and semantics of RNR constructions can be implemented in the Korean TCCG system.
