This paper defines the grammar class of sequentially indexed grammars (SIGs) that results of a change in the index stack handling mechanism of indexed grammars [Aho68, Aho69]. SIG...
Abstract. Two kinds of framework for stating grammars of natural languages emerged during the 20th century. Here we call them generativeenumerative syntax (GES) and model-theoretic...
The Minimalist Grammars (MGs) proposed by Stabler(1997) have tree-shaped derivations (Harkema, 2001b; Michaelis, 2001a). As in categorial grammars, each lexical item is an associat...
This paper presents a novel approach to the unsupervised learning of syntactic analyses of natural language text. Most previous work has focused on maximizing likelihood according...
This paper investigates the application of a probabilistic parser for natural language on the list of the Nbest sentences produced by an off-line recognition system for cursive h...
