Building a LCS-Based Lexicon in TAGs*
Bonnie Jean Dorr, Martha Stone Palmer · 1995
this paper is Lexical Conceptual Structure (LCS) as formulated by Dorr (1993) based on work by Jackendoff (1983, 1990). This is described in the next section, and is followed by the presentation of a grammar for LCS as a representation language. The grammar formalism whose operations we examine with respect to their ability to compose LCS representations is Feature-Based Lexicalized Adjoining Grammar, (FB-LTAG), a version of Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) (Joshi et al (1975), Schabes (1990), Vijay-Shanker (1987)), and its description, along with example TAG structures, forms our final section. What we find is that the implementation of LCS as a TAG, although not completely straightforward, can be done, providing the full power of the well-defined mathematical properties of TAGs as a basis for describing the formal properties of LCS
