Abstract

In this paper we explore the residuation laws that are at the basis of the Lambek calculus, and more generally of categorial grammar. We intend to show how such laws are characterized in the framework of a purely non-commutative fragment of linear logic, known as Cyclic Multiplicative Linear Logic.
