CCG, one of the most prominent grammar frameworks, efficiently deals with deletion under coordination in natural languages. However, when we expand our attention to more analytic languages whose degree of pro-dropping is more free, CCG’s decomposition rule for dealing with gapping becomes incapable of parsing some patterns of intra-sentential ellipses in serial verb construction. Moreover, the decomposition rule might also lead us to overgeneration problem. In this paper the composition rule is replaced by the use of memory mechanism, called CCG-MM. .
