Generating with a Grammar Based on Tree Descriptions: a Constraint-Based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
While the generative view of language processing builds bigger units out of smaller ones by means of rewriting steps, the axiomatic view eliminates invalid linguistic structures out of a set of possible structures by means of wellformedness principles. We present a generator based on the axiomatic view and argue that when combined with a TAG-like grammar and a flat semantics, this axiomatic view permits avoiding drawbacks known to hold either of top-down or of bottom-up generators.

Automatically Generating Tree Adjoining Grammars from Abstract Specifications
The paper describes a system that can automatically generate tree adjoining grammars from abstract specifications. Our system is based on the use of tree descriptions to specify a grammar by separately defining pieces of tree structure that encode independent syntactic principles. Various individual specifications are then combined to form the elementary trees of the grammar. The system enables...
متن کاملCoreference Handling in XMG
We claim that existing specification languages for tree based grammars fail to adequately support identifier managment. We then show that XMG (eXtensible MetaGrammar) provides a sophisticated treatment of identifiers which is effective in supporting a linguist-friendly grammar design. 1 Specifying tree-based grammars Whilst the development of standard unificationbased grammars is well supported...
متن کاملA Parallel Interval-Based Constraint Language: Implementation and Performance Analysis
This paper presents the design and implementation of a non-deterministic constraint programming language based on interval variables (integer or oating point intervals) on shared-memory multiprocessing computers. The non-deterministic constructs in the language are the choice and split statements. Each processor narrows the constraints encountered along the path of the execution tree. Whenever ...
متن کاملA Chance Constraint Approach to Multi Response Optimization Based on a Network Data Envelopment Analysis
In this paper, a novel approach for multi response optimization is presented. In the proposed approach, response variables in treatments combination occur with a certain probability. Moreover, we assume that each treatment has a network style. Because of the probabilistic nature of treatment combination, the proposed approach can compute the efficiency of each treatment under the desirable reli...
متن کاملThe Impact of Structured Input-based Tasks on L2 Learners’ Grammar Learning
Abstract Task-based language teaching has received increased attention in second language research. However, the combination of structured input-based approach and task-based language teaching has not been examined in relation to L2 grammar learning. To address this gap, the present study investigated how the structured input-based tasks with and without explicit information impacted learners’ ...
