Conditions on useful grammar implementations
نویسنده
چکیده
For implementations to be useful • the implementation needs to be thoroughly documented. In particular also: all differences between the linguistic theory and the implementation should be documented and explained. • the system used should support a clear, tractable, and formally meaningful way of implementing a grammar close to the linguistic theory. The implementation of HPSG theories can be very valuable in terms of a) providing feedback for a rigid and complete formalization of a linguistic theory, as well as b) stimulating system development to enhance the link between theory and implementation and to improve performance.

متن کاملLink Grammar Preex Measures for Spontaneous Speech Recognition
We show how the link grammar formalism can be applied as a left-to-right syntax model to spontaneous speech recognition tasks. We ooer algorithms for robustly measuring the grammaticality of partial sentences with respect to a link grammar and examine the measure's behavior over the Wall Street Journal and Switchboard corpora. We discuss why link grammar is useful for tackling the problems that...

متن کاملModularity of grammatical constraints in HPSG-based grammar implementations
This paper is a contribution to the discussion of the choices involved in implementing HPSG-based grammars and their consequences on the modularity and reusability of grammatical resources, a central issue in multi-lingual grammar development. Based on two examples from the English Resource Grammar (Flickinger et al., 2000), the treatment of unbounded dependencies and the analysis of optional a...

The present study examined the comparative effect of different types of code-switching, i.e., intrasentential,inter-sentential, and tag-sentential switching on EFL learners grammar learning andteaching. To this end, a sample of 60 Iranian female and male students in two different institutionsin Qazvin was selected. They were assigned to four groups. Each group was randomly assigned toone of the...
