This paper describes a method of semi-automatically acquiring an English HPSG grammar
from the Penn Treebank. First, heuristic rules are employed to annotate the treebank with …

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

This paper evaluates the accuracy of HPSG parsing in terms of the identification of predicate-
argument relations. We could directly compare the output of HPSG parsing with Prop-Bank …

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 …

This thesis is concerned with the parsing of ungrammatical written English sentences. Over
a period of eighteen months, a 20,000 word corpus was developed which consists of …

annotated corpus. The lexicon comprises 2006 verbs (25076 occurrences). The goal of the …

This paper investigates the use of sublexical units as a solution to handling the complex
morphology with productive derivational processes, in the development of a lexical …

Abstract Deep unification-(constraint-) based grammars are usually hand-crafted. Scaling
such grammars from fragments to unrestricted text is time-consuming and expensive. This …

Résumé It is gainful for a syntactic analysis in Natural Language Processing to be carried
out with more or less precision according to the context, ie that its granularity can be …
