Language CoLLAGE: Grammatical Description with the LinGO Grammar Matrix
نویسنده
چکیده
Language CoLLAGE is a collection of grammatical descriptions developed in the context of a grammar engineering graduate course with the LinGO Grammar Matrix. These grammatical descriptions include testsuites in well-formed interlinear glossed text (IGT) format, high-level grammatical characterizations called ‘choices files’, HPSG grammar fragments (capable of parsing and generation), and documentation. As of this writing, Language CoLLAGE includes resources for 52 typologically and areally diverse languages and this number is expected to grow over time. The resources for each language cover a similar range of core grammatical phenomena and are implemented in a uniform framework, compatible with the DELPH-IN suite of processing tools.

A Study of Ideational Grammatical Metaphor in Health Texts of English Newspapers
Systemic functional grammar constructs a grammar for the purpose of text analysis to investigate how grammar is used as a means of making meaning. Grammatical metaphor is one of the language phenomena introduced by Halliday (2004) in the framework of functional grammar. The present work focuses on the application of Halliday’s metafunctional framework in health texts of English newspapers. The ...

This work describes the implementation of a meta-modeling approach to morphologically marked tense and aspect within the LinGO Grammar Matrix customization system. The Matrix customization system creates a small hpsg grammar for a language based on answers to questions about particular linguistic phenomena. In the original system, these answers indicated a choice of pre-determined analyses of t...

متن کاملBook Review Design Patterns in Fluid Construction Grammar
In computational modeling of natural language phenomena, there are at least three modes of research. The currently dominant statistical paradigm typically prioritizes instance coverage: Data-driven methods seek to use as much information observed in data as possible in order to generalize linguistic analyses to unseen instances. A second approach prioritizes detailed description of grammatical ...
