An Alternate View on Strong Lexicalization in TAG
نویسندگان
چکیده
TAGs were recently shown not to be closed under strong lexicalization but to be strongly lexicalizable by context-free tree grammars of rank 2. This paper presents an alternative lexicalization procedure that builds on an earlier generalization of TAGs to multi-dimensional trees. A previous theorem that every Tree Substitution grammar is strongly lexicalized by a corresponding TAG is lifted to higher dimensions to show that for every d-dimensional TAG there exists a (d+ 1)-dimensional TAG that strongly lexicalizes it. A similar lifting reveals that d-dimensional TAGs are not closed under strong lexicalization, so for arbitrary TAGs an increase in dimensionality is an unavoidable consequence of strong lexicalization.

Cataphoric Lexicalisation
A traditional lexicalization analysis of a word looks backwards in time, describing each change in the word’s form and usage patterns from actuation (creation) to the present day. I suggest that this traditional view of lexicalization can be labelled Anaphoric Lexicalization to reflect its focus upon what has passed. A corresponding forward-looking process can then be envisaged called Cataphori...

The present study endeavors to unravel the enigma of the psycholinguistic mechanisms underpinning bilingual mental lexicon by analyzing the issue of L1 lexicalization as a construct epitomizing an overarching framework. It involves 78 juniors at the Islamic Azad University, Roudehen Branch. The study inspects the impact of the interventionist/noninterventionist treatments on both sets of lexica...
متن کاملTree-adjoining grammars and lexicalized grammars
In this paper, we will describe a tree generating system called tree-adjoining grammar(TAG)and state some of the recent results about TAGs. The work on TAGS is motivated by linguistic considerations. However, a number of formal results have been established for TAGs, which we believe, would be of interest to researchers in tree grammars and tree automata. After giving a short introduction to TA...
متن کاملCapturing Disjunction In Lexicalization With Extensible Dependency Grammar
In spite of its potential for bidirectionality, Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG) has so far been used almost exclusively for parsing. This paper represents one of the first steps towards an XDG-based integrated generation architecture by tackling what is arguably the most basic among generation tasks: lexicalization. Herein we present a constraint-based account of disjunction in lexicalizati...
متن کاملLexicalization vs. Vocalization: A Cross-Linguistic Study of Emphasis in English and Persian
Language is a system of verbal elements that makes communication of meaningspossible in the manners the users intend by employing certain linguistic deviceswhich are partly language-specific. Once communicating cross-linguistically, thereis always a risk of negative transfer of techniques or processes from the firstlanguage (L1) to the foreign language (L2). The current study investigates the“e...
