The NT(M)S Parser: an Efficient Computational Linguistic Tool
Günther Mayerthaler, Christian Winkler · 1999
NT(M)S stands for NaturlichkeitsTheoretische (Morpho)Syntax [6]. This is a grammar model based on generative syntax. The descriptions of grammatical phenomena are represented by trees expressing both constituency and dependency relations. These trees are unfoldings/projections of lexical base-categories. The maximal unfoldings of the respective categories (verb, noun etc.) are markedness theoretically parametrized: the less unmarked, the higher the unfolding. The syntaxtheoretic language of NT(M)S is two-fold. It provides a formal syntactic description and a markedness theoretic evaluation thereof.
