A Metagrammar for Vietnamese LTAG
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present in this paper an initial investigation into the use of a metagrammar for explicitly sharing abstract grammatical specifications for the Vietnamese language. We first introduce the essential syntactic mechanisms of the Vietnamese language. We then show that the basic subcategorization frames of Vietnamese can be compactly represented by classes using the XMG formalism (eXtensible MetaGrammar). Finally, we report on the implementation the first metagrammar producing verbal elementary trees recognizing basic Vietnamese sentences.

Argument linking in LTAG: A constraint-based implementation with XMG
This paper develops a first systematic approach to argument linking in LTAG, building on typologically oriented work in Van Valin (2005). While Van Valin's argument linking mechanism is procedurally defined, we propose a constraint-based implementation. The advantage is that we can separate between the linguistic generalizations to be captured and algorith-mic considerations. The implementation...
متن کاملAutomated Extraction of Tree Adjoining Grammars from a Treebank for Vietnamese
In this paper, we present a system that automatically extracts lexicalized tree adjoining grammars (LTAG) from treebanks. We first discuss in detail extraction algorithms and compare them to previous works. We then report the first LTAG extraction result for Vietnamese, using a recently released Vietnamese treebank. The implementation of an open source and language independent system for automa...
متن کاملXMG: eXtensible MetaGrammar
In this article, we introduce eXtensible MetaGrammar (XMG), a framework for specifying tree-based grammars such as Feature-Based Lexicalised Tree-Adjoining Grammars (FB-LTAG) and Interaction Grammars (IG). We argue that XMG displays three features which facilitate both grammar writing and a fast prototyping of tree-based grammars. Firstly, XMG is fully declarative. For instance, it permits a de...
متن کاملA Frame-Based Semantics of the Dative Alternation in Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars
It is well known that the meaning of a verb-based construction depends not only on the lexical meaning of the verb but also on its specific syntagmatic environment. Lexical meaning interacts with constructional meaning in intricate ways and this interaction is crucial for theories of argument linking and the syntax-semantics interface. These insights have led proponents of Construction Grammar ...
متن کاملA Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar for Vietnamese
In this paper, we present the first sizable grammar built for Vietnamese using LTAG, developed over the past two years, named vnLTAG. This grammar aims at modelling written language and is general enough to be both applicationand domain-independent. It can be used for the morpho-syntactic tagging and syntactic parsing of Vietnamese texts, as well as text generation. We then present a robust par...
