They allow us to insert discourse-level relations at the level of a single sentence. Just as people make use of information from punctuation in processing what they re...

Parsing TAG with Abstract Categorial Grammar

This paper presents informally an Earley algorithm for TAG which behaves as the algorithm given by (Schabes and Joshi, 1988). This algorithm is a specialization to TAG of a more general algorithm dedicated to second order ACGs. As second order ACGs allows to encode Linear Context Free Rewriting Systems (LCFRS) (de Groote and Pogodalla, 2004), the presentation of this algorithm gives a rough pre...
