We present a parser for German that achieves a competitive accuracy on unrestricted input while maintaining a coverage of 100%. By writing well-formedness rules as declarative, defeasible constraints that integrate different sources of linguistic knowledge, very high robustness is achieved against all sorts of extragrammatical constructions.

Syntax The abstract syntax is presented in a UML class diagram showing the metaclasses defining theconstructs and their relationships. The diagram also presents some of the well-formedness rules,mainly the multiplicity requirements of the relationships, and whether or not the instances of aparticular sub-construct must be ordered. Finally, a short informal description in natural...

Although Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin are all wh-in-situ languages, they differ with respect to intervention effects. I use the term ‘intervention effects’ in accord with Beck (1996) and Beck and Kim (1997) to refer to ill-formedness that results when a particular phrase, generally a quantificational and/or focus element, c-commands a wh-phrase. In this paper, I refer to intervenors as ‘quant...

This article presents the Meaning-Text Unification Grammar’s current state, now that its formal foundations have been clarified with the development of Polarized Unification Grammar. Emphasis is put on the model’s architecture and the role of polarization in linking its modules — semantics-syntax interface and the well-formedness grammars of each representation level.

The verification of security protocols has been proven to be undecidable in general. Different approaches use simplifying hypotheses in order to obtain decidability for interesting subclasses. Amongst the most common is type abstraction, i.e. considering only well-typed runs, therefore bounding message length. In this paper we show how to get message boundedness “for free” under a reasonable (s...

This paper describes an integrated method for processing grammatically i l l formed inputs We use partial parses of the input for recov ering from parsing failure In order to select partial parses appropriate for error recovery, cost and reward are assigned to them Cost and reward represent the badness and goodness of a partial parse, respectively The most appropriate partial parse is selected ...

How do grammars assess the well-formedness of words with multiple phonotactic violations? Certain models predict that as strength restrictions decrease, forms violate should be less acceptable than expected, in a pattern we term super-linear cumulativity. We test this prediction using series Artificial Grammar Learning experiments, which vary number exceptions to patterns artificial languages. ...
