Interrupting Constructions in a Rejuvenated Amazon Grammar
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on the latest rejuvenation of AMAZON, a structuralist parser for Dutch written sentences. Unlike older versions, the new AMAZON parser has been developed in a modular organization, with an empirical cycle containing evaluations on corpus material. This methodology facilitates the development by separate researchers, and it gives more insight into the actual performance of the parser, providing a useful means of measuring the improvement during development. In this paper, the evaluation method, and its outcome, is presented in general. As a more specific case study, the implementation of a separate module for interruption constructions is discussed.

Representing Information Structure in a Formal Grammar of Danish
Abstract. This paper presents a proposal for the integration of information structure in a unification-based grammar of Danish. Three information structure features – topic, focus and background – are defined, and it is shown how they are instantiated in a number of different grammar constructions. Prosodic, syntactic and information structure constraints characterising the various construction...
متن کاملA Design Pattern For Phrasal Constructions
This chapter has two objectives. It discusses a design pattern for phrasal constructions and introduces the templates that can be used to instantiate this pattern in Fluid Construction Grammar, using as illustration nominal phrases such as “the green mouse” or “this mouse of mine”. Phrasal constructions not only build phrases but also combine the meanings contributed by their constituents and p...
متن کاملAn Informal Sketch of a Formal Architecture for Construction Grammar
A formal architecture for Construction Grammar (CG) is sketched. Modeling domain objects (constructs) are constituent structures with feature structures at the nodes, aka Feature Structure Trees (FTs). Constructions are partial descriptions of FTs, expressed as sets of constituent structure equations and path equations. Unification of constructions is defined. A construct c is licensed by a gra...
متن کاملOn Japanese Desiderative Constructions
This paper describes desiderative constructions in Japanese with the main focus on ta(i) ‘want’ desideratives. In spite of the morphological one-word status, desiderative constructions have been claimed to have a complex structure at some abstract level of representation. We claim that there are two types of desideratives, and that their predicates have different lexical representations within ...
متن کاملConstruction Grammar: The Facts on the Ground
In Construction Grammar, rules of syntactic combination (descriptions of local trees, e.g., a verb phrase and its daughters) have meanings. These meanings are represented by syntactic, semantic and usage features that attach to the mother or daughter nodes in these trees (Sag 2007, 2008). A construction defines the distinctive properties of a mode of combination that is part of the grammar of a...
