The 'Specifier' in an HPSG grammar implementation of Norwegian
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a principled background for the adoption of a category ‘Specifier’ in the analysis of noun phrases, and show how, under certain constraining assumptions, it can be successfully employed in the implementation of an HPSG grammar of noun phrases for Norwegian. How widely the assumptions can be applied on empirical grounds cross-linguistically, is still a matter for further investigation.

Implementing Norwegian Reflexives in an HPSG Grammar
The paper reviews basic patterns of reflexive binding in Norwegian, and explores a possible implementation of them in an HPSG grammar using the LKB platform. Norwegian has two reflexive elements, with distinct constraints and corresponding 'anti-binding' effects; they can cooccur but also occur independently. As over-all strategy for resolving reflexive binding we use one resembling the 'slash'...
متن کاملA Grammar Sparrer for Norwegian
We demonstrate an on-line tool for grammatical error detection for Norwegian with freely chosen inputs, and error-messages informing the user about possible mistakes; the system also generates grammatically correct alternatives for ill-formed input strings. The system is built as an extension to a general-purpose large HPSG grammar of Norwegian, with special ‘mal’-rules identifying a set of 40 ...
متن کاملInvited tutorial on Norwegian grammar: Challenges for HPSG
Three areas of Norwegian grammar will here be presented: in section 1, diathesis, represented by the passive and the presentational constructions, in section 2 anaphora, represented by reflexives, and in section 3 certain phenomena related to the V2 pattern. The discussion in sections 1 and 2 will be related to the construct Argument Structure (ARG-ST), as it is formulated, e.g., in Manning and...
متن کاملParse disambiguation for a rich HPSG grammar
The fine-grained nature of the HPSG representations found in the Redwoods treebank raises novel issues in parse disambiguation relative to more traditional treebanks such as the Penn treebank, which have been the focus of most past work on probabilistic parsing (e.g., Charniak 1997; Collins 1997). The Redwoods treebank is much richer in the representations it makes available. Most similar to Pe...
متن کاملChinGram: A TRALE Implementation of an HPSG Fragment for Mandarin Chinese
In this paper, we present our effort in the development of a HPSG grammar for Chinese. We present the basic notions of the HPSG framework, review existing theoretical analyses and implementations of Chinese grammar fragments in HPSG and present a range of deep linguistic analyses that are part of our own implementation.
