Comparative Constructions in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA): An HPSG approach.
… - driven Phrase Structure Grammar (henceforth, HPSG). To the best of my knowledge, MSA comparative constructions have not been addressed before but present an interesting challenge for Arabic and general linguistics. MSA has simple and complex comparatives, which look rather like their …

Floating and Non-floating Quantifiers in Hijazi Arabic: an HPSG Analysis
… of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). This work is a contribution to the long-standing debate on the relation between floating and non-floating quantifiers. It investigates the properties of Hijazi Arabic floating quantifiers to be able to determine whether they belong to the …

Nonconstituent coordination as a subtype of constituent coordination
… account of NCC (Non-Constituent Coordination) in HPSG, based on the hypothesis that all coordination is coordination among the same types of daughters.

A logic for feature structures and unification with disjunctive and negative values
… of different linguistic theories, GPSG, HPSG, and LFG in particular, both as a means of theory testing and for the purpose of developing natural language processing systems. A logical language, called LFD, is proposed to describe feature structures and unification as common components …

The Copula in Arabic: Description and Analysis
… within the Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) framework. With regard to the semantic contribution of the copula, the thesis shows that MSA has two copulas: a copula of identity and a copula of predication. The former licenses equational sentences, while the latter licenses predicational …

Verb Agreement in Kannada: A Constraint Based Account
… in Kannada find a natural explanation in the HPSG framework: A finite verb takes only that nominative noun phrase as its complement which bears information compatible to the index specified. Defective verbs are argued to be underspecified verbs which are less constrained in the kind of …

Apokoinukonstruktionen : empirische Untersuchung ihrer Verwendung in aufgabenorientierten Dialogen und Diskussion ihrer grammatischen Modellierbarkeit in einer Unifikationsgrammatik
… lexikalisierten Unifikationsgrammatik wie der HPSG erörtert (Teil 3). Alle untersuchten Stellen werden im Anhang in dreierlei Form bereitgestellt: Ausgangstranskription, Transkription mit prosodischer Annotation nach GAT sowie die in dem Dialogkontext plausiblen grammatischen Analysen. Zentrale …

Table-driven parsing of natural language with constraint-based grammars
… method is unable to handle schematic rules as in HPSG and CUG, however. To remedy this problem, a rule inference algorithm is developed that instantiates underspecified rules into more specified ones containing enough information to construct sets of items and parsing tables. The implementation …

A hierarchical model of German morphology in a spoken language lexicon environment
… zu evaluieren und die Ergebnisse im Rahmen der HPSG kompatibel zu machen. Hierzu werden die benötigten Merkmalsdeklarationen, Typenhierarchien, Prinzipien und Schemata hergeleitet. Es wird argumentiert, dass ein Morphologisches Kopfmerkmalsprinzip für Derivation und Komposition im Deutschen …

Action Nominals in the Grammar Matrix
… nature of action nominals. I present an HPSG analysis of action nominals and the implementation of that analysis within the Grammar Matrix. I develop the library using a combination of pseudo and illustrative languages (English [eng], Hixkaryana [hix], Russian [rus], Korean [kor]) and …

Syntax and Semantics of Path -Denoting Particles and Prepositional Phrases in German
… of Head Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG). I conclude that combinations of path-denoting particles with motion verbs are best regarded as phrases, rather than discontinuous words. Path-denoting particles are a type of adverbial. The distribution of both path particles and …

Treebank-Based Deep Grammar Acquisition for French Probabilistic Parsing Resources
… have seen a move towards acquiring deep (LFG, HPSG and CCG) resources that can represent information absent from simple CFG-type structured treebanks and which are considered to produce more language-neutral linguistic representations, such as syntactic dependency trees. As is often the case in …

Parsing with sparse annotated resources
… in parsing constituency-based grammars such as HPSG and CCG using a small amount of data annotated in the target formalisms and a large quantity of coarse CFG annotations from the Penn Treebank. While the trees annotated in all of the target formalisms share a similar basic syntactic structure …

Full Forest Treebanking
In this thesis, I present a new method of producing treebanks using constraint-based grammars. Rather than requiring an explicitly enumerated set of candidate analyses per utterance, my method works from an implicit representation, allowing the annotator to efficiently select the correct analysis …
