A clear introduction to lexical-functional grammar (LFG), this outstanding textbook sets out a
formal approach to the study of language using a step-by-step approach and rich language …

Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) plays a vital role in the area of Natural Language
Processing (NLP). LFG is considered as the constraint-based philosophy of grammar. C …

Lexical-Functional Grammar f-structures are abstract syntactic representations
approximating basic predicate-argument structure. Treebanks annotated with f-structure …

The development of large coverage, rich unification-(constraint-) based grammar resources
is very time consuming, expensive and requires lots of linguistic expertise. In this paper we …

We present a methodology for extracting subcategorization frames based on an automatic
lexical-functional grammar (LFG) f-structure annotation algorithm for the Penn-II and Penn-III …

We present two companion methods for automatically enriching phrase-structure oriented
treebank resources with functional structures. Both methods define systematic patterns of …

We describe a method that automatically induces LFG f {structures from treebank tree
representations, given a set of f {structure annotation principles that de ne partial, modular c …

In this chapter we summarize work on extensions to the core LFG formalism that facilitate
large-scale probabilistic LFG parsing and translation models. Traditional LFG grammars …

Traditionally, rich, constraint-based grammatical resources have been hand-coded. Scaling
such resources beyond toy fragments to unrestricted, real text is knowledge-intensive …

This paper reports on the conversion of the TIGER treebank, a syntactically interpreted
corpus of German newspaper texts, into a testsuite for a broadcoverage Lexical-Functional …
