Freer-word-order languages such as German exhibit linguistic phenomena that present unique challenges to traditional CFG parsing. Such phenomena produce discontinuous constituents...
We present a divide-and-conquer strategy based on finite state technology for shallow parsing of realworld German texts. In a first phase only the topological structure of a sente...
One goal of natural language generation is to produce coherent text that presents information in a logical order. In this paper, we show that topological fields, which model high-...
We present a novel, data-driven method for integrated shallow and deep parsing. Mediated by an XML-based multi-layer annotation architecture, we interleave a robust, but accurate ...

We present a new grammar formalism for parsing with freer word-order languages, motivated by recent linguistic research in German and the Slavic languages. Unlike CFGs, these gram...
