GIDLP: A Grammar Format For Linearization-based HPSG
نویسندگان
چکیده
Linearization-based HPSG theories are widely used for analyzing languages with relatively free constituent order. This paper introduces the Generalized ID/LP (GIDLP) grammar format, which supports a direct encoding of such theories, and discusses key aspects of a parser that makes use of the dominance, precedence, and linearization domain information explicitly encoded in this grammar format. We show that GIDLP grammars avoid the explosion in the number of rules required under a traditional phrase structure analysis of free constituent order. As a result, GIDLP grammars support more modular and compact grammar encodings and require fewer edges in parsing.

متن کاملParsing Generalized ID/LP Grammars
The Generalized ID/LP (GIDLP) grammar formalism (Daniels and Meurers 2004a,b; Daniels 2005) was developed to serve as a processing backbone for linearization-HPSG grammars, separating the declaration of the recursive constituent structure from the declaration of word order domains. This paper shows that the key aspects of this formalism – the ability for grammar writers to explicitly declare wo...
متن کاملDissociating Functor-argument Structure from Surface Phrase Structure: the Relationship of Hpsg Order Domains to Lfg
Recent work on order domains and linearization in HPSG, and also conceptually related work in categorial grammar, is argued to mirror the key ideas that motivated the separation between c-structure and f-structure in the earliest work in LFG (Bresnan 1982). This paper argues that: (i) to be descriptively adequate, all constraint-based frameworks do indeed need a dissociation between functor-arg...

متن کاملTowards a platform for linearization grammars
A number of authors working in the HPSG paradigm (Reape, 1990, 1994, 1996; Richter and Sailer, 1995; Kathol, 1995; Müller, 1995, 1999a; Penn, 1999, and others) have argued on linguistic grounds that constituent structure should not be directly linked to word order properties. While the formal realizations of the proposals differ, all these so-called linearization approaches have in common that ...
