From Descriptive Annotation to Grammar Specification
Lars Hellan · 2010
The paper presents an architecture for connecting annotated linguistic data with a computational grammar system. Pivotal to the architecture is an annotational interlingua – called the Construction Labeling system (CL)- which is notationally very simple, descriptively finegrained, cross-typologically applicable, and formally well-defined enough to map to a state-of-the-art computational model of grammar. In the present instantiation of the architecture, the computational grammar is an HPSG-based system called TypeGram. Underlying the architecture is a research program of enhancing the interconnectivity between linguistic analytic subsystems such as grammar formalisms and text annotation systems. 1
