Tree Adjoining Grammars
Formalisms, Linguistic Analysis and Processing edited by Anne Abeillé and Owen Rambow
Researchers in theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive science, and in natural language processing have recently converged on a collective insight: formalizing the syntax of words is central to describing, understanding, and analyzing language. This insight has sparked considerable interest in Tree Adjoining Grammar, a lexically-oriented mathematical formalism that can precisely capture the syntactic properties of natural languages such as English, French or Korean. This volume combines contributions from a variety of authors who discuss the formalism itself, its use in analyzing linguistic phenomena, and its use in building natural language processing systems.
Anne Abeillé is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Paris VII in France. Owen Rambow is affiliated with Columbia University.
