A principle-based hierarchical representation of LTAGs
Marie-Hélène Candito · 1996
Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars have proved useful for NLP. However, numerous redundancy problems face LTAGs developers, as highlighted by Vijay-shanker and Schabes (92).We present a compact hierarchical organization of syntactic descriptions, that is linguistically motivated and a tool that automatically generates the tree families of an LTAG. The tool starts from the syntactic hierarchy and principles of well-formedness and carries out all the relevant combinations of linguistic phenomena.
