Bulgarian Vocative within HPSG framework

Towards Minimal Recursion Semantics over Bulgarian Dependency Parsing

The paper discusses the transferring rules of the output from a dependency parser for Bulgarian into RMRS analyses. This task is required by the machine translation compatibility between Bulgarian and English resources. Since the Bulgarian HPSG grammar is still being developed, a repairing mechanism has been envisaged by parsing the Bulgarian data with the Malt Dependency Parser, and then retri...

Practical Annotation Scheme for an HPSG Treebank of Bulgarian

The paper presents an HPSG-based annotation scheme for constructing a Bulgarian treebank: BulTreeBank. It differs from other grammar-based annotation schemes in having a hybrid status with respect to the partial parsing component and the full parsing module. As the parsing complexity is handled preferably by the pre-processing step, the task of the HPSG module is maximally facilitated and simpl...

Language Resources and Tools for the Creation of a Bulgarian Treebank

This paper describes a framework for the creation of an HPSG-based treebank of Bulgarian. The architecture consists of several types of language resources and tools, such as gazetteers, a morphological dictionary, a valence dictionary, a semantic dictionary, named entities recognition grammars, chunk grammars for NPs and VPs, a general HPSG grammar. The paper describes each of them, including t...

The Bulgarian HPSG Treebank: Specialization of the Annotation Scheme

The process of building our HPSG-based (for HPSG see [Pollard and Sag, 1994]) treebank involves two main tasks: integration of the pre-processing components and an adequate annotation scheme. The first is required for ensuring the consistency of the next levels and to facilitate annotators’ work. The underlying techniques have to be adjusted to each other in such a way that maximum linguistic a...
