Modular Grammar Design with Typed Parametric Principles
This paper introduces a type system for Extensible Dependency Grammar (xdg) (Debusmann et al., 2004), a new, modular grammar formalism based on dependency grammar. As xdg is based on graph description, our emphasis is on capturing the notion of multigraph, a tuple of arbitrary many graphs sharing the same set of nodes. An xdg grammar consists of the stipulation of an extensible set of parametri...
متن کاملTaking Linguistic Dimensions More Seriously: The New Grammar Formalism of Extensible Dependency Grammar
We introduce the new grammar formalism of Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG), enabling us to take the different dimensions of linguistic description more seriously than existing grammar formalisms. XDG treats the different linguistic dimensions as separate, autonomous dependency graphs. We show how this allows us to naturally account for taxing phenomena such as free word order, control, and q...
متن کاملExtensible Dependency Grammar: A New Methodology
This paper introduces the new grammar formalism of Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG), and emphasizes the benefits of its methodology of explaining complex phenomena by interaction of simple principles on multiple dimensions of linguistic description. This has the potential to increase modularity with respect to linguistic description and grammar engineering, and to facilitate concurrent proce...
متن کاملMulti-Dimensional Dependency Grammar as Multigraph Description
Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG) is new, modular grammar formalism for natural language. An XDG analysis is a multi-dimensional dependency graph, where each dimension represents a different aspect of natural language, e.g. syntactic function, predicate-argument structure, information structure etc. Thus, XDG brings together two recent trends in computational linguistics: the increased applic...
متن کاملA Modular Account of Information Structure in Extensible Dependency Grammar
We introduce a modular, dependency-based formalization of Information Structure (IS) based on Steedman’s prosodic account [1, 2]. We state it in terms of Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG) [3], introducing two new dimensions modeling 1) prosodic structure, and 2) theme/rheme and focus/background partitionings. The approach goes without a non-standard syntactic notion of constituency and can be...
