Incremental Interpretation of Categorial Grammar
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper describes a parser for Categorial Grammar which provides fully word by word incremental interpretation. The parser does not require fragments of sentences to form constituents, and thereby avoids problems of spurious ambiguity. The paper includes a brief discussion of the relationship between basic Categorial Grammar and other formalisms such as HPSG, Dependency Grammar and the Lambek Calculus. It also includes a discussion of some of the issues which arise when parsing lexicalised grammars, and the possibilities for using statistical techniques for tuning to particular languages.

Efficient Incremental Processing with Categorial Grammar
Some problems are discussed that arise for incremental processing using certain exible categorial grammars, which involve either undesirable parsing properties or failure to allow combinations useful to incrementality. We suggest a new calculus which, though`designed' in relation to categorial interpretations of some notions of dependency grammar, seems to provide a degree of exibility that is ...
متن کاملIncremental Interpretation and Combinatory Categorial Grammar
The paper is organised around a particular problem of ana phoric definite reference. A solution to this problem requires sen tence processing which allows semantic representations to be evaluated incrementally, as a phrase is read from left to right. The paper shows how a proposal made by Mellish (1985), to regard incremental semantic evaluation as a constraint satisfaction task, can provide ...
متن کاملBidirectional Incremental Generation and Analysis with Categorial Grammar and Indexed Quasi-Logical Form
We describe an approach to surface generation designed for a "pragmatics-based" dialogue system. The implementation has been extended to deal with certain well-known difficulties with the underlying linguistic formalism (Categorial Grammar) at the same time yielding a system capable of supporting incremental generation as well as interpretation. Aspects of the formalism used for the initial des...
متن کاملA Psycholinguistically Motivated Parser for CCG
Considering the speed in which humans resolve syntactic ambiguity, and the overwhelming evidence that syntactic ambiguity is resolved through selection of the analysis whose interpretation is the most ‘sensible’, one comes to the conclusion that interpretation, hence parsing take place incrementally, just about every word. Considerations of parsimony in the theory of the syntactic processor lea...
متن کاملIncremental Generation with Categorial Grammar and HPSG
The paper describes an approach to generation with HPSG based on earlier work with categorial grammar. We show that a non-incremental generation algorithm for categorial grammar and indexed logical form can easily be adapted for use with HPSG and MinimalRecursion Semantics. However, if the algorithm is modiied to support incremental generation, diierent notions of syntactic constituency become ...
