Taking Linguistic Dimensions More Seriously: The New Grammar Formalism of Extensible Dependency Grammar
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We introduce the new grammar formalism of Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG), enabling us to take the different dimensions of linguistic description more seriously than existing grammar formalisms. XDG treats the different linguistic dimensions as separate, autonomous dependency graphs. We show how this allows us to naturally account for taxing phenomena such as free word order, control, and quantifier scope.

Extensible Dependency Grammar: A New Methodology
This paper introduces the new grammar formalism of Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG), and emphasizes the benefits of its methodology of explaining complex phenomena by interaction of simple principles on multiple dimensions of linguistic description. This has the potential to increase modularity with respect to linguistic description and grammar engineering, and to facilitate concurrent proce...

متن کاملA Relational Syntax-Semantics Interface Based on Dependency Grammar
We propose a syntax-semantics interface that realises the mapping between syntax and semantics as a relation and does not make functionality assumptions in either direction. This interface is stated in terms of Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG), a grammar formalism we newly specify. XDG’s constraint-based parser supports the concurrent flow of information between any two levels of linguistic ...
متن کاملModular Grammar Design with Typed Parametric Principles
This paper introduces a type system for Extensible Dependency Grammar (xdg) (Debusmann et al., 2004), a new, modular grammar formalism based on dependency grammar. As xdg is based on graph description, our emphasis is on capturing the notion of multigraph, a tuple of arbitrary many graphs sharing the same set of nodes. An xdg grammar consists of the stipulation of an extensible set of parametri...
متن کاملProblems of Inducing Large Coverage Constraint-Based Dependency Grammar for Czech
This article describes an attempt to implement a constraintbased dependency grammar for Czech, a language with rich morphology and free word order, in the formalism Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG). The grammar rules are automatically inferred from the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT) and constrain dependency relations, modification frames and word order, including non-projectivity. Although...
