A Logic Programming Approach to Parsing and Production in Fluid Construction Grammar
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a Logic Programming approach to parsing and production in Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG) [13]. It builds on previous work on the formalisation of FCG in terms of First Order Logic (FOL) concepts, more specifically on the definition of its core inference operations, unification and merge, in terms of FOL unification and search in the space of a particular set of FOL terms called structure arrangements. An implementation of such inference operations based on Logic Programming and Artificial Intelligence techniques such as unification and heuristic search is outlined.

Unify and Merge in Fluid Construction Grammar
Research into the evolution of grammar requires that we employ formalisms and processing mechanisms that are powerful enough to handle features found in human natural languages. But the formalism needs to have some additional properties compared to those used in other linguistics research that are specifically relevant for handling the emergence and progressive co-ordination of grammars in a po...
متن کاملFraming Fluid Construction Grammar
In this paper, we propose a concrete operationalization which incorporates data from the FrameNet database into Fluid Construction Grammar, currently the only computational implementation of construction grammar that can achieve both production and parsing using the same set of constructions. As a proof of concept, we selected an annotated sentence from the FrameNet database and transcribed its...
متن کاملBootstrap Dialog: A Conversational English Text Parsing and Generation System
A conversational English text parsing and generation system is described in which its lexicon and construction grammar rules are revised, augmented, and improved via dialog with mentors. Both the parser and generator operate in a cognitively plausible, incremental manner. Construction Grammar is well suited for a precise and robust dialog system due to its emphasis on pairing utterance form wit...
متن کاملBook Review: Design Patterns in Fluid Construction Grammar edited by Luc Steels
In computational modeling of natural language phenomena, there are at least three modes of research. The currently dominant statistical paradigm typically prioritizes instance coverage: Data-driven methods seek to use as much information observed in data as possible in order to generalize linguistic analyses to unseen instances. A second approach prioritizes detailed description of grammatical ...
