Completeness of Syntactic Concept Lattices for the Full Lambek Calculus. To appear in Proceedings of the 17th Conference on Formal Grammar. Syntactic concept lattices are algebraic structures which are defined by the distributional structure of languages. I show that this subclass of residuated lattices forms a complete class of models for the Full Lambek calculus.
