摘要:In recent years, there has been a lot of research
on wide-coverage statistical natural language
processing with linguistically expressive grammars
such as Combinatory Categorial Grammars
(CCG), Head-driven Phrase-Structure Grammars
(HPSG), Lexical-Functional Grammars (LFG)
and Tree-Adjoining Grammars (TAG). But although
many young researchers in natural language
processing are very well trained in machine
learning and statistical methods, they often lack
the necessary background to understand the linguistic
motivation behind these formalisms. Furthermore,
in many linguistics departments, syntax
is still taught from a purely Chomskian perspective.
Additionally, research on these formalisms
often takes place within tightly-knit, formalismspecific
subcommunities. It is therefore often difficult
for outsiders as well as experts to grasp the
commonalities of and differences between these
formalisms.
