The Archive provides information about finished projects, former
activities and publications from the Linguistics Department for the
topic of HPSG.
Bibliography
The extensive Tübingen HPSG-Bibliography includes all of the
publications on the topic of HPSG and related works which were written
by both Tübingen researchers, and outside researchers during their
stay in Tübingen. They give an overall picture of the work being done
in HPSG in Tübingen.
The main idea behind this bibliography is to support those interested
in the work done in HPSG in Tübingen and make these works directly
accessible. Therefore the bibliography includes links, wherever
possible, to download versions of papers recorded in the
bibliography. Of course, this does not include externally copyrighted
papers, or papers which have been published in books or
periodicals. These works should, however, be readily available at
libraries. On the other hand, the bibliography includes technical
reports, contributions to conferences, or even unpublished
manuscripts, which are from time to time referenced in literature, as
well as various theses, which are often difficult to
obtain. We hope that our on-line library makes these works more
readily available.
A copiable Bibtex entry in a separate file to all the papers will be
made available to the Latex user. Additionally, there are, wherever
possible, links to the web pages of the authors and to pages where
further information on the papers, (for example, abstracts) can be
found. Moreover, numerous thematically sorted sub-bibliographies are
available alongside the bibliographies which are alphabetically
ordered according to author. The thematic search enables the user to
investigate literature in particular areas of specialization, which in
turn can be categorized by sub-headings in the bibliography. Such
special subjects may include: Syntax of German Verbal Complexes,
Syntax of Long Dependencies, Phenomena of Clitics, Feature Logic
Foundations of HPSG and Implementation Platforms.
CLAIRE and CLaRK
CLAIRE and CLaRK were two completely different projects, begun by Paul
King and continued to their closing stages by Frank Richter, after
Paul King's departure. CLAIRE stands for
Constraint Linguistics: An Interdisciplinary Review and
Evaluation, and is concerned with a
collaboration between the Tübingen Linguistics Department and the
Computational Linguistics/Machine Translation Group at the University
of Essex in England. The object of the academic exchange was the
examination of the relationship between LFG and HPSG, which was discussed
in a total of six work shops, attended by many visiting academics,
and discussed during
a summer school course at the ESSLLI 2000 in Birmingham.
CLaRK is the abbreviation for the Tübingen-Sofia International
Graduate Programme in Computational Linguistics and Represented
Knowledge, which was a doctoral program managed by the Linguistic
Modelling Laboratory of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and by our
Linguistics Department. Students in pursuit of their Master's degree
have also been working within the perimeters of this program, in
Sofia. Two summer school programs have been set up. The first one was
in Tübingen in 1999. An additional one was organized one year later in
the gorgeous, coastal town of Sozopol, Bulgaria. Of course we
shouldn't forget to mention the CLaRK-Archive, where you can also find
pictures of the stunning summer school in Sozopol.
HPSG Gazette
The HPSG Gazette was an electronic news forum for the HPSG
researchers, which appeared in seven issues, from September 1996 to
December 1998. It contained news about upcoming or past conferences,
dissertation projects, the newest publications and web pages,
announced open positions and people who had just begun a new
position. While all this is no longer brand new, the HPSG Gazette
still offers today an occasional amusing snap shot of an active
research community and their various activities. It's worth having a
look at it, just to glimpse into the past.
Tübingen HPSG-Projects of the SFB 340
Against the backdrop of the former Special Research Program (SFB) 340,
which was concurrently established in both Stuttgart and Tübingen, two
research projects, exclusively devoted to HPSG, were under
development. The first project, B4, which was in progress from 1992 to
the end of 2000, was primarily concerned with questions of
implementation and application. The other project, B8, in progress
from 1995 to the end of 2000 mainly delineated and executed extensive,
theoretically motivated fragments of German, and tested and
transferred these fragments on computers with software developed in
Project B4. Not only did ConTroll and TRALE emerge from these two
projects, but so did many special studies investigating questions
of German syntax and general grammar theory. In the sphere of the SFB
projects, active research has developed, in which questions
are posed concerning formal foundations, the integration of semantic
formalisms in HPSG and theoretical-linguistic inquiries about
other individual languages such as Polish, Hebrew, Italian or French.
The results of the Tübingen HPSG-projects of the SFB 340 can, of
course, be found in the above described Tübingen on-line library as
well as in the web pages of implementation platforms. Special web
pages have been created to contain the legacy of these projects. There
you will find the project proposals, the final project reports, the
papers which were published in the tech report series of the SFB 340,
the dissertations which were written by project colleagues as well as
numerous Master's and Diploma theses. These pages are an ideal "catch
all" for documents which are otherwise rather difficult to access. In
what concerns academic works, they can also, of course, be found in
the general bibliography. |
