Segment Grammar
نویسنده
چکیده
Incremental sentence generation imposes special constraints on the representation of the grammar and the design of the formulator (the module which is responsible for constructing the syntactic and morphological structure). In the model of natural speech production presented here, a formalism called Segment Grammar (SG; Kempen, 1987) is used for the representation of linguistic knowledge. One basic operation, unification, is responsible for the construction of syntactic structures. This chapter presents a formal definition of this grammar formalism as well as an informal synopsis. Furthermore, it is shown how feature structures can naturally be seen as objects in an object-oriented representation language; an implementation of SG in CommonORBIT is presented.

متن کاملSegment Grammar: the next Step in the Evolution of Tag?
Segment Grammar (SG) is a grammar formalism which is closely related to TAG but operates on smaller increments called syntactic segments. Both use a similar unification operation as a general tree construction mechanism. Whereas TAG is committed to the distinction of syntactic constructions such as Subj-V-Obj, WH(Obj)-Subj-V, to-V(infinitive)-Obj in the form of separate elementary structures, S...
متن کاملRobust Spoken Document Retrieval Based on Multilingual Subphonetic Segment Recognition
This paper describes the development and application of a subphonetic segment recognition system for spoken document retrieval. Following from the development of an open-vocabulary spoken document retrieval system, where the retrieval process is accomplished in the symbolic domain by measuring the distance between the parts of subphonetic segment results from pattern recognition in the acoustic...

متن کاملFinding Syntactic Structures from Human Motion Data
We present a new approach to motion rearrangement that preserves the syntactic structures of an input motion automatically by learning a context-free grammar from the motion data. For grammatical analysis, we reduce an input motion into a string of terminal symbols by segmenting the motion into a series of subsequences, and then associating a group of similar subsequences with the same symbol. ...
