An HPSG-based Shared-Grammar for the Chinese Languages: ZHONG [|]
Zhenzhen Fan, Sanghoun Song, Francis T. Bond · 2015
This paper introduces our attempts to model the Chinese language using HPSG and MRS.Chinese refers to a family of various languages including Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Min, etc.These languages share a large amount of structure, though they may differ in orthography, lexicon, and syntax.To model these, we are building a family of grammars:ZHONG [ ].This grammar contains instantiations of various Chinese languages, sharing descriptions where possible.Currently we have prototype grammars for Cantonese and Mandarin in both simplified and traditional script, all based on a common core.The grammars also have facilities for robust parsing, sentence generation, and unknown word handling.
