Epsilon-Free Grammars and Lexicalized Grammars that Generate the Class of the Mildly Context-Sensitive Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
This study focuses on the class of string languages generated by TAGs. It examines whether the class of string languages can be generated by some epsilon-free grammars and by some lexicalized grammars. Utilizing spine grammars, this problem is solved positively. This result for spine grammars can be translated into the result for TAGs.

Lambek Grammars, Tree Adjoining Grammars and Hyperedge Replacement Grammars
Two recent extension of the nonassociative Lambek calculus, the LambekGrishin calculus and the multimodal Lambek calculus, are shown to generate class of languages as tree adjoining grammars, using (tree generating) hyperedge replacement grammars as an intermediate step. As a consequence both extensions are mildly context-sensitive formalisms and benefit from polynomial parsing algorithms.
متن کاملHighly Constrained Unification Grammars
Unification grammars are widely accepted as an expressive means for describing the structure of natural languages. In general, the recognition problem is undecidable for unification grammars. Even with restricted variants of the formalism, off-line parsable grammars, the problem is computationally hard. We present two natural constraints on unification grammars which limit their expressivity an...
متن کاملInferring Grammars for Mildly Context Sensitive Languages in Polynomial-Time
Natural languages contain regular, context-free, and contextsensitive syntactic constructions, yet none of these classes of formal languages can be identified in the limit from positive examples. Mildly context-sensitive languages are able to represent some context-sensitive constructions, those most common in natural languages, such as multiple agreement, crossed agreement, and duplication. Th...
متن کاملComputational properties of Unification Grammars
There is currently considerable interest among computational linguists in grammatical formalisms with highly restricted generative power. This is based on the argument that a grammar formalism should not merely be viewed as a notation, but as part of the linguistic theory. It is now generally accepted that CFGs lack the generative power needed for this purpose. Unification grammars have the abi...
متن کاملOn the effect of the IO-substitution on the Parikh image of semilinear AFLs
Back in the 80’s, the class of mildly context-sensitive formalisms was introduced so as to capture the syntax of natural languages. While the languages generated by such formalisms are constrained by the constant-growth property, the most well-known and used mildly context-sensitive formalisms like tree-adjoining grammars or multiple context-free grammars generate languages which verify the str...
