Lexicalising Word Order Constraints for Implemented Linearisation Grammar
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a way in which a lexicalised HPSG grammar can handle word order constraints in a computational parsing system, without invoking an additional layer of representation for word order, such as Reape’s Word Order Domain. The key proposal is to incorporate into lexical heads the WOC (Word Order Constraints) feature, which is used to constrain the word order of its projection. We also overview our parsing algorithm.

A Proposed Lexicalised Linearisation Grammar – a monostratal alternative
This paper presents an overview of a proposed linearisation grammar, which relies solely upon information residing in lexical heads to constrain word order. Word order information, which encompasses discontinuity as well as linear precedence conditions, is explicitly encoded as part of the feature structure of lexical heads, thus dispensing with a separate LP specification or linearisation-spec...
متن کاملImplementing Head-Driven Linearisation Grammar
The thesis presents a new form of linearisation grammar in the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) and describes an implementation of a natural language parser that utilises it primarily to process freer word order languages such as German and Japanese. In contrast to the standard HPSG linearisation grammar (Reape, 1993, Kathol, 2000) with a separate component for linear pr...
متن کاملConstituency, word order and focus projection
In this study we show that constituency is of limited importance for a proper treatment of the interaction between the linear position of a wa-marked nominal in a Japanese sentence and possible domains of contrastive focus, and that constraints concerning contrastive focus should be represented in terms of linear order and not constituency. Linearisation HPSG, where linear order is independent ...
متن کاملHandling Linear Precedence Constraints by Unification
Linear precedence (LP) rules are widely used for stating word order principles. They have been adopted as constraints by HPSG but no encoding in the formalism has been provided. Since they only order siblings, they are not quite adequate, at least not for German. We propose a notion of LP constraints that applies to linguistically motivated branching domains such as head domains. We show a type...
متن کاملWord Order Constraints for Lexical Disambiguation of Interaction Grammars
We propose a new method to perform lexical disambiguation of Interaction Grammars. It deals with the order constraints on words. Actually, the soundness of the method is due to an invariant property of the parsing of an Interaction Grammar. We show how this invariant can be computed statically from the grammar.
