Selective magic HPSG parsing
Guido Minnen · 1999
We propose a parser for constraintlogic grammars implementing HPSG that combines the advantages of dynamic bottom-up and advanced topdown control.The parser allows the user to apply magic compilation to specific constraints in a grammar which as a result can be processed dynamically in a bottom-up and goal-directed fashion.State of the art top-down processing techniques are used to deal with the remaining constraints.We discuss various aspects concerning the implementation of the parser as part of a grammar development system.
