In memoriam Maurice Gross

چکیده

Maurice Gross (1934-2001) was both a great linguist and a pioneer in natural language processing. This article is written in homage to his memory. Maurice Gross is remembered as a vital man surrounded by a lively group, constituted by his laboratory, the LADL, and by his international network, RELEX. He and his group always resolutely steered away from any kind of abstemiousness or abstinence. He selected three of his first collaborators in 1968 from among his bistrot pals of longstanding. Judging by their later scientific production, the selection was done with sharp judgment (e.g. Guillet, Leclère, 1992; Meunier, 1999). A convivial atmosphere, picnics, drinks at the lab and other revelries were the hallmarks of his group — though he has been perceived, on other occasions, as a tyrannical father. As a linguist, Maurice Gross contributed to the revival of formal linguistics in the 1960s, and he created and implemented an efficient methodology for descriptive lexicology. As specialist of natural language processing (NLP), he was also a pioneer of linguistics-based processing.

So it is curiosity that has led to this initial study. My intention is to look into the l...
