Computational linguistics studies the computational processes involved in language learning, production, and comprehension. Computational linguists believe that the essence of these processes (in humans and machines) is a computational manipulation of information. Computational psycholinguistics studies psychological aspects of human language (e.g., the time course of sentence comprehension) in...

In this paper, we deal with register-driven variation from a probabilistic perspective, as proposed in Schäfer, Bildhauer, Pankratz, Müller (2022). We compare two approaches to analyse within HPSG. On the one hand, consider multiple-grammar approach and combine it architecture CoreGram project (2015) - discussing its advantages disadvantages. other take into account single-grammar argue that ap...

Evolution of symbolic language and grammar is studied in a network model. Language is expressed by words, i.e. strings of symbols, which are generated by agents with their own symbolic grammar system. By deriving and accepting words, the agents communicate with each other. An agent which can derive less frequent and less acceptable words and accept words in less computational time will have hig...

Constructing grammar: A computational model of the emergence of early constructions

The 200 million word corpus of the Bank of English was annotated morphologically and syntactically using the English Constraint Grammar analyser, a rulebased shallow parser developed at the Research Unit for Computational Linguistics, University of Helsinki. We discuss the annotation system and methods used in the corpus work, as well as the theoretical assumptions of the Constraint Grammar syn...

Despite the growing number of Computational Construction Grammar implementations, the field is still lacking evaluation methods to compare grammar fragments across different platforms. Moreover, the hand-crafted nature of most grammars requires profiling tools to understand the complex interactions between constructions of different types. This paper presents a number of evaluation measures, pa...

During the first century BC, famous Roman architect, Vitruvius, defined architecture as encompassing three essential properties: firmitas (firmness), utilitas (utility), and venustas (attractiveness or beauty) [...]

We present a deep computational Modern Greek grammar. The grammar is written in HPSG and is being developed in a multilingual context with MRS semantics, contributing to an open-source collection of software and linguistic resources with wide usage in research, education, and application building.

Grammatical Framework (GF) is a meta-language for multilingual linguistic descriptions, which can be used to build rule-based interlingua MT applications in natural sublanguage domains. The GF open-source package contains linguistic and computational resources to facilitate language engineering including: a resource grammar library for ten languages, a user interface for multilingual authoring ...

Here we describe the development of a re-usable, multi-purpose linguistic resource for Modern Greek: a deep computational Modern Greek Grammar. The grammar is written in the HPSG formalism and is being developed in a multilingual context with MRS semantics, contributing to an open-source repository of software and linguistic resources with wide usage in education, research, and application
