Grammatical Functions, Discourse, Referents, and Quantification
A new algorithm is proposed which transforms f-structures into discourse representation structures (DRSs). Its primary features are that it works bottom up, that it is capable of translating f-structures without pre imposing any arbitrary order on the attributes occurring in i t , and that it handles indeterminacy of scoping by using sets of translations. The approach sheds light on how an effi...
متن کاملThe Implementation of Grammatical Functions in Functional Discourse Grammar
• ABSTRACT: In standard FG (DIK, 1997) grammatical functions are assigned directly to the underlying representation in a more or less across the board fashion, only taking into consideration the language dependent semantic function hierarchy. This approach bypasses a number of constraints on subject assignment that may be gathered from typological data, and observed from the actual behaviour of...
متن کاملLearning Grammatical Constructions
We describe a computational model of the acquisition of early grammatical constructions that exploits two essential features of the human language learner: significant prior knowledge of concepts and individual lexical items, and sensitivity to the statistical properties of the input data. Such principles, previously applied to lexical acquisition, are shown to be useful and necessary for learn...

6 This paper critically explores the question of what it means for a 7 construction to be grammatical. The paper engages with some of the 8 observations made in the grammaticalisation literature that elements in 9 grammatical constructions undergo morphologization, and aims to show 10 that grammatical status and morphologization need not be aligned. A 11 number of parameters along which the gra...
متن کاملGrounded Learning of Grammatical Constructions
We describe a model of grammar learning in which all linguistic units are grounded in rich conceptual representations, and larger grammatical constructions involve relational mappings between form and meaning that are built up from smaller (e.g., lexical) constructions. The algorithm we describe for acquiring these grammatical constructions consists of three separate but interacting processes: ...
