A new class of formal languages will be defined the Distributed Index Languages (DI-languages). The grammar-formalism generating the new class - the DI-grammars - cover unbound de...
Linguistic access to uncertain quantitative knowledge about physical properties is provided by dimensional adjectives, e.g. long-short in the spatial and temporal senses, near-far...
The first part of the paper develops a novel, sortally-based approach to the problem of aspectual composition. The account is argued to be superior on both empirical and computati...
We report grammar inference experiments on partially parsed sentences taken from the Wall Street Journal corpus using the inside-outside algorithm for stochastic context-free gram...
The formal architecture of Lexical Functional Grammar offers a particular formal device, the structural correspondence, for modularizing the mapping between the surface forms of a...
We are concerned with dependencyoriented morphosyntactic parsing of running text. While a parsing grammar should avoid introducing structurallyunresolvable distinctionsin order to...
We study parsing of tree adjoining grammars with particular emphasis on the use of shared forests to represent all the parse trees deriving a well-formed string. We show that ther...
