Unification-Based Grammars

A considerable amount of study has recently been concentrated on the use of linguistically motivated unification based grammars for sen- tence generation (see for example Appelt 1987, Calder 1989, Shieber …...

We present evidence that head-driven pars- ing strategies lead to efficiency gains over standard parsing strategies, for lexicalist, concatenative and unification-based gram- mars. A head-driven parser applies a rule only …...

This paper presents a gratmnar and style checker demonstrator for Span- ish and Greek native writers devel- oped within the project GramCheck. Besides a brief grmnmar error typol- ogy for …...

This paper describes results achieved in a project which addresses the issue of how the gap between unification-based grammars as a scientific concept and real world applications can be narrowed …...

Many parsing techniques including pa- rameter estimation assume the use of a packed parse forest for efficient and ac- curate parsing. However, they have sev- eral inherent problems deriving from …...
