We address variable morphotactics, the phenomenon of order variability morphs, in context inflectional morphology. Based on an extended discussion cross-linguistic variation, including conjugation Nepali, Fula, Swahili, Chintang and Italian, nominal declension Ostyak Mari, we propose a canonical typology that identifies different deviations from strict ordering. Following previous approaches to problem, Information-based Morphology, inferential-realisational model-theoretic approach...
In this paper, we shall discuss how the treatment of morphological periphrasis (Vincent & Börjars, 1996; Popova Spencer, 2013; Bonami, 2015) can be integrated into framework Information-based Morphology (IbM; Crysmann 2015), an inferential-realisational theory inflection couched in terms typed feature structures. French verb morphology provides a rich set synthetic and analytic forms. Among latter find so-called composed tenses (e.g. passé composé) near tenses, such as récent (=‘recent...
Abstract In the present article, we assume that adult French is an object-drop language in which complex object clitic + verb licenses and identifies a pro object. analysis of speech German-French bilingual boy, observed two major developmental phases. The first phase was characterized by drop similar to seen Chinese. second acquisition paradigm shift: adult-like morphological licensing mechanism. This coincides with development C-system (Complementizer System) its target form. Our account,...
We present an architecture for the integration of shallow and deep NLP components which is aimed at flexible combination different language technologies a range practical current future applications. In particular, we describe high-level HPSG parsing system with high-performance components, ranging from named entity recognition to chunk clause recognition. The enrich representation natural text layers new XML meta-information using single shared data structure, called chart. details methods,...
We present a novel, data-driven method for integrated shallow and deep parsing. Mediated by an XML-based multi-layer annotation architecture, we interleave robust, but accurate stochastic topological field parser of German with constraint-based HPSG parser. Our annotation-based dovetailing phrasal constraints is highly flexible, allowing targeted fine-grained guidance conduct systematic experiments that demonstrate substantial performance gains.
Recent years have witnessed a renewal of interest in variable morph ordering, the situation where position word is not constant. These situations present challenge to extant inferential-realisational approaches morphology (Stump, 2001), insofar as these adopt implicitly or explicitly an a-morphous approach morphological composition (Anderson, 1992). In this paper we will first review typology known ordering phenomena inflection. We then argue that challenges can be met by making distinction...
We report on recent advances in HPSG parsing of German with local ambiguity packing (Oepen and Carroll, 2000), achieving a speed-up factor 2 balanced test-suite. In contrast to earlier studies carried out for English using the same algorithm, we show that restricting semantic features only is insufficient acceptable runtime performance grammar. series experiments relating three different types discontinuities (head movement, extraction, extraposition), examine effects restrictor choice,...
In most recent work, Crysmann and Bonami (2012) suggest to reconcile the insights of inferential-realisational morphology (Anderson, 1992; Stump, 2001; Brown Hippisley, 2012) with full typology variable morphotactics: situations where expression analogous feature sets can appear in various positions string. The authors proposed account for these facts by importing, into HPSG, a variant Paradigm Function Morphology (Stump, 2001) realisation rules are doubly indexed linear position...
This paper presents an implemented hybrid approach to grammar and style checking, combining industrial pattern-based checker with bidirectional, large-scale HPSG grammars for German English. Under this approach, deep processing is applied selectively based on the error hypotheses of a shallow system. We have conducted comparative evaluation two components, supporting integration scenario where system best used detection, whereas add correction both controlled language errors.
