Scoping and Recursive Modification in TL-LFG
نویسندگان
چکیده
Type-Logical Lexical Functional Grammar (TL-LFG) combines the extreme lexicalism and tight relationship between syntactic and semantic construction of Type-Logical Categorial Grammar with the virtues of having functional structure at the core of syntactic analyses. This paper presents fragments of an analysis of modification in TL-LFG. Particular attention is given to the scope and ordering of non-intersective modifiers and to recursive modification. These analyses highlight the synergy between the underlying logic, the word spans and the functional structure features of the derivational component of the framework. The later suffices to give an elegant analysis of semantic modification phenomena using a fraction of the formal machinery of the LFG + Glue framework.

Encoding LFG f-structures in the TL-LFG type system
Type-Logical Lexical Functional Grammar is a new syntactic framework similar in nature to Type-Logical Categorial Grammar, but with a distinct Lexical Functional Grammar flavour. It is the overall setup of TLLFG that makes it a close relative of TLCG, but it is the information encoded in the type system that brings it even closer to LFG. The encoding of f-structure information in the TL-LFG typ...
متن کاملTowards a More Lexical and Functional Type-logical Theory of Grammar
Type-Logical Lexical Functional Grammar is a new, radically lexicalist, and formally parsimonious theory, in essence a re-incarnation of Lexical Functional Grammar (Kaplan and Bresnan, 1982) in a type-logical formal framework very similar in formal nature to that of Type-Logical Categorial Grammar (Morrill, 1994; Moortgat, 1997). It puts emphasis on having a simple logical foundation as its for...
متن کاملPrevalence, Risk Factors and Primary Prevention of Osteoarthritis in Asia: A Scoping Review
Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is estimated to be the eleventh leading cause of disability worldwide. In Asian countries, OA is much less well-known than in the caucasian population and strongly associated with aging. Therefore, this article focuses comprehensively on the prevalence, risk factors and primary prevention for OA identified in Asian countries. Methods: This scoping review us...
متن کاملMethods of Controlling Restless Legs Syndrome in Diabetic Patients: A Scoping Review Study
Introduction: ‘Restless Legs Syndrome’ is a sensory-motor disorder manifested by a tendency to move legs, usually accompanied by discomfort in the legs. Studies have shown that diabetics are more at risk for Restless Legs Syndrome than the general population. Therefore, a review study was designed to determine the methods of controlling restless legs syndrome in patients with diabetes. Methods:...
متن کاملImproving data-driven dependency parsing using large-scale LFG grammars
This paper presents experiments which combine a grammar-driven and a datadriven parser. We show how the conversion of LFG output to dependency representation allows for a technique of parser stacking, whereby the output of the grammar-driven parser supplies features for a data-driven dependency parser. We evaluate on English and German and show significant improvements stemming from the propose...
