Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar Linguistic Approach, Formal Foundations, and Computational Realization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The theoretical richness, formal rigor and computational versatility of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) preclude any kind of in-depth coverage of its content within the confines of an encyclopedia article such as this. Our objectives are accordingly far more modest: we seek to provide a kind of aerial view of the linguistic approach (§2), summarize the formal foundations (§3), and characterize computational work developed based on this paradigm (§4).

A Data-Oriented Parsing Model for HPSG
Data Oriented Parsing (DOP) is based on the idea of processing new input by combining fragments (associated with some probabilities) that are extracted from a treebank. In the simplest case these fragments are subparts of simple phrase structure trees (Tree-DOP). The approach is attractive in many ways but the impoverished representational basis is a serious drawback from a linguistic point of ...
متن کاملBook Review Design Patterns in Fluid Construction Grammar
In computational modeling of natural language phenomena, there are at least three modes of research. The currently dominant statistical paradigm typically prioritizes instance coverage: Data-driven methods seek to use as much information observed in data as possible in order to generalize linguistic analyses to unseen instances. A second approach prioritizes detailed description of grammatical ...

متن کاملUnification and Grammatical Theory
This paper informally presents a new view of grammar that has emerged from a number of distinct but related lines of investigation in theoretical and computational linguistics. Under this view, many current linguistic theories-including Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), Generalized Phraae Structure Grammar (GPSG), Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), and categorial grammar (CG)-fall wit...
متن کاملA Model of Syntactic Parsing Based on Domain-General Cognitive Mechanisms
The relationship between linguistic and nonlinguistic cognition is an important area of study including the questions of language modularity and learnability. We believe that insights to this relationship can be obtained by implementing a precise computational model of sentence understanding within a general cognitive architecture. In this paper we have represented a wide-coverage grammar (Head...
