Right Node Raising in Parsing and Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss a grammar engineering account of non-constituent coordination in the clausal syntax of German as it occurs in real corpus data, generalizing the approach of Forst and Rohrer (2009) to right node raising cases not captured so far. We compare our account to the unimplemented metagrammatical technique by Maxwell and Manning (1996) and point out that many of their ideas can be captured using only the standard LFG formalism and making minimal adjustments to an existing large-scale grammar. We show that information-structural constraints on right node raising can be simulated in f-structures and note that they are well-behaved in a generation scenario.

Parsing Coordination Extragrammatically
We propose to process coordination at the parsing level as a linguistic performance issue, outside the grammar, rather than as a matter of competence. We apply a specific algorithm to combine coordinated syntactic structures that were partially parsed using a coordinationless grammar, resulting in a directed acyclic parse graph in which constituent sharing appears sharply. This article presents...
متن کاملSentinel lymph node biopsy correctly predicts regional lymph node recurrence in trunk malignant melanoma with multiple drainage basins
We report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. Four peritumoral intradermal Tc-99m phytate injection was performed and SLNs were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. On the biopsy only the right axillary SLN was metastatic leading to right axilla...
متن کاملRight Node Raising
Right Node Raising is the term used by linguists to refer to a construction in which a shared argument surfaces at the right periphery of a coordinate structure (e.g. Phil loves, but Mary hates, Greek tragedies). This paper begins by introducing some of the basic properties of this construction, and then moves on to present and compare two of the main approaches to analyzing this construction. ...
متن کاملOrder and Structure
The aim of this thesis is to argue for the following two main points. First, that grammars of natural language construct sentences in a strictly left-to-right fashion, i.e. starting at the beginning of the sentence and ending at the end. Second, that there is no distinction between the grammar and the parser. In the area of phrase structure, I show that the left-to-right derivations forced by t...
متن کاملWorkshop on Coordination, Subordination and Ellipsis
This is an effect that belongs to the process that maps the hierarchical groupings of syntactic representations onto strings. The process that produces Right Node Raising, then, should engage that process in such a way that the Right Edge Effect emerges. I will assume that the relevant process is the one that linearizes the terminals in a phrase marker. There have been a series of recent propos...
