Tree Adjoining Grammars : Formalisms, Linguistic Analysis
and Processing
Anne Abeill¨¦ 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.
