Análisis sintáctico profundo del español: un ejemplo del procesamiento de secuencias idiomáticas

FIPS, a multilingual deep parser, has been developed at the Language Technology Laboratory (LATL) of the University of Geneva (Switzerland).This parser, inspired by Chomskyan generative theories, is based on the idea that sets of syntactic structures are common to different languages (to all languages or to some language families). In this paper, we present an introduction to FIPS processing that we illustrate with Spanish and examples of multiword expressions. Such expressions, although generally processed as static lexical sequences, can indeed undergo various lexical-syntactic transformations, such as pronominalizations or substitutions. Retrieving such sequences’ meaning requires a deep syntactic representation, which needs to establish the links between deep structures and surface forms.
