A Lexical Functional Grammar System in Prolog
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a system in PROLOG for the automatic transforination of a grammar, written in LFG formalism, into a DCG-based parser. It demonstrates the main principles of the transformation, the representation of f-structures and constraints, the treatment of long-distance dependencies, and left rccursion. Finally some problem areas of the system and possibilities for overcoming them are discussed.

A Prolog Implementation of the Functional Uniication Grammar Formalism
This paper compares the use of Lisp and Prolog for the implementation of a functional grammar uniication system. To achieve this comparison, we have taken as a starting point Michael Elhadad's FUF system, which is written in Lisp and produced a much smaller and more eecient Prolog version (PFUF) retaining many of FUF's essential features. Our approach is based on a precompilation scheme that re...

متن کاملAn Eclectic Approach to Building Natural Languages Interfaces
INKA is a natural language interface to facilitate knowledge acquisition during expert system development for electronic instrument trouble-thooting. The expert system design methodology develops a domain definition, called GLIB, in the form of a semantic grammar. This grammar format enables GLIB to be used with the INGLISH interface, which constrains users to create statements within a subset ...
متن کاملProlog models of classical approaches to MT
This paper describes a number of “toy” MT systems written in Prolog, designed as programming exercises and illustrations of various approaches to MT. The systems include a dumb word-for-word system, DCG-based “transfer” system, an interlingua-based system with an LFG-like interface structure, a firstgeneration-like Russian-English system, an interactive system, and an implementation based on ea...
متن کاملLexical-functional Grammar of the Croatian Language: Theoretical and Practical Models
Formal description aims to find the most suitable way to formalize a certain segment of the language, or some language phenomena at morphological, lexical, syntactic or semantic level. There is a variety of formal models based on different approaches in order describe the natural language as much as possible. One type of such formal model is described in the thesis entitled “Lexical-Functional ...
