Encoding a syntactic dictionary into a super granular unification grammar
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how to turn a large-scale syntactic dictionary into a dependency-based unification grammar where each piece of lexical information calls a separate rule, yielding a super granular grammar. Subcategorization, raising and control verbs, auxiliaries and copula, passivization, and tough-movement are discussed. We focus on the semantics-syntax interface and offer a new perspective on syntactic structure.

Slot Unification Grammar
In this paper we propose a framework which we call Slot Unification Grammar (SUG). This framework allows to integrate different kinds of knowledge, all of them necessary for resolution of several problems in Natural Language Processing (NLP). These problems, such as coordination, extraposition of constituents, ellipsis and anaphora, sometimes occur simultaneously and it is very useful to solve ...
متن کاملGeneralized Probabilistic LR Parsing of Natural Language (Corpora) with Unification-Based Grammars
We describe work toward the construction of a very wide-coverage probabilistic parsing system for natural language (NL), based on LR parsing techniques. The system is intended to rank the large number of syntactic analyses produced by NL grammars according to the frequency of occurrence of the individual rules deployed in each analysis. We discuss a fully automatic procedure for constructing an...
متن کاملBootstrapping Open-Source English-Bulgarian Computational Dictionary
We present an open-source English-Bulgarian dictionary which is a unification and consolidation of existing and freely available resources for the two languages. The new resource can be used as either a pair of two monolingual morphological lexicons, or as a bidirectional translation dictionary between the languages. The structure of the resource is compatible with the existing synchronous Engl...
متن کاملSyntactic Analysis for Natural Language Interfaces - the Integrated Deductive Approach
The objective of our research is the implementation of a German natural language interface for a deductive database system which models a production planning and control system. By means of our approach we suggest a way to overcome the severe drawbacks of interfaces that are designed as loosely coupled filters only. We integrate the interface into the database system itself, that is, the comple...
متن کاملA Strategy for the Syntactic Parsing of Corpora: from Constraint Grammar Output to Unification-based Processing
This paper presents a strategy for syntactic analysis based on the combination of two different parsing techniques: lexical syntactic tagging and phrase structure syntactic parsing. The basic proposal is to take advantage of the good results on lexical syntactic tagging to improve the whole performance of unification-based parsing. The syntactic functions attached to every word by the lexical s...
