The Treatment of Japanese Focus Particles Based on Lexical-Functional Grammar
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to discuss treatment of 'focus particles' in Japanese sentences to be incorporated in a Japanese parsing system based on the Lexical-Functional Grammar(LFG) formalism. Focus particle can follow nouns, quantifiers, verbs, other particles (postpositions) and auxiliary verbs. Thus, it is necessary for a large-scale grammar to treat focus particles properly. Furthermore, there are syntactic and semantic ambiguities caused by the particles. We propose phrase structure rules and lexical entry constraints which cover focus particles in various positions and account for the ambiguities.

Implementing a Japanese Semantic Parser Based on Glue Approach
This paper describes the implementation of a Japanese semantic parser based on glue approach. The parser is designed as domain-independent, and produces fully scoped higher-order intensional logical expressions, coping with semantically ambiguous sentences without storage mechanism. It is constructed from an English semantic parser on top of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), and it attains broa...
متن کاملJapanese Parser on the basis of the Lexical-Functional Grammar Formalism and its Evaluation
We report a Japanese parsing system with a linguistically fine-grained grammar based on the Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) formalism. The system is the first Japanese LFG parser with over 97% coverage for real-world text. We evaluated the accuracy of the system comparing it with standard Japanese dependency parsers. The LFG parser shows roughly equivalent performance on the dependency accurac...
متن کاملType grammar meets Japanese particles
This paper presents a computational analysis within the framework of a type grammar for the treatment of Japanese particles. In Japanese, particles express a number of functional relations; they follow a word to indicate its relationship to other words in a sentence, and/or give that word a particular meaning. We explain our parsing technique and discuss about various constructions using case p...
متن کاملAn HPSG Account of the Hierarchical Clause Formation in Japanese : HPSG-Based Japanese Grammar for Practical Parsing
The most perspicuous phenomenon that demonstrates the head-final property of Japanese is the sentence-final clusters of auxiliary verbs such as (s)ase and conjunctive particles nagara. Although they are related to the hierarchical clause structure that has been discussed in the literature of Japanese linguistics, the hierarchical complexities have also been one of the major causes of the failur...
متن کاملCCG of Japanese Sentence-final Particles
vs. Aim To provide formalization of Japanese sentence-final particles in the framework of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) (Steedman 1996, 2000, Szabolcsi 1987). Proposal I analyze particles such as yo and ne as verum focus operators (Höhle 1992, Romero & Han 2004). Previous Work There has not been much formal descriptions of these sentence-final particles so far. • Masuoka & Takubo (1992) ...
