Editorial

Dear Reader,

This is the first issue of the HPSG Gazette, a newsletter intended to collect and distribute HPSG related information. The HPSG Gazette appears every three months and contains the information you send to

gazette@sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de

as well as the bibliographical information submitted to Stefan Müller's HPSG Bibliography page

http://www.compling.hu-berlin.de/HPSG/

Since first announcing the newsletter, we received many interesting submissions, and we would like to thank everyone who contributed to this issue. In order to make the gazette more flexible, we decided to structure each issue of the gazette according to the information received, rather than automatically sort the submissions into fixed slots according to the subject headers. Submissions therefore are no longer required to bear specific subject headers.

We hope you will find this collection useful and would like to encourage you to submit any HPSG-related information.

Regards,

Detmar Meurers
Adam Przepiorkowski


Upcoming Events

  1. The 4th International Conference on HPSG
  2. LSA Course: 'The Major Syntactic Structures of French'
  3. Conference: 'Interfaces of Grammar' (Program)
  4. NELS 27 (Revised Program)
  5. The 1997 Conference of the Texas Linguistics Society (Call for Papers)


1. The 4th International Conference on HPSG

HPSG-97
The 4th International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar

Cornell University -- Ithaca, New York
July 18-20, 1997
(held in conjunction with the 1997 Linguistic Institute)

Further information will be available soon ...


2. LSA Course: 'The Major Syntactic Structures of French'

The following course will be offered at the 1997 Linguistic Institute, Cornell University:

The Major Syntactic Structures of French

Anne Abeille (Talana, U. Paris 7)
Daniele Godard (CNRS, U. Paris 7)
Philip Miller (U. Lille 3)
Ivan Sag (Stanford U.)

The goal of this course is to reconcile a performance-compatible conception of linguistic theory with the syntactic and lexical reality of Modern French. From our constraint-based, lexicalist perspective, `clitics' are inflectional morphology (not independent syntactic elements) and surface structures are generated directly without movement, chains or traces. The topics considered include auxiliaries, pronominal clitics, causatives, interrogatives, relative clauses, negation and word order. We will draw both on generative studies of French and on the large body of descriptive work by French grammarians.

2. ESSLLI 96 Workshop on Surface-Based Syntax and Romance Languages (Prague)

(Summary from Paola Monachesi and Anne Abeille)

ORGANIZERS: Anne Abeille (U Paris 7), Paola Monachesi (U. Tübingen)

Description: One of the aims of recent work in generative grammar has been to integrate the results of more traditional linguistic typology. As regards the well known family of Romance languages, what has been proposed in the Principles and Parameters framework (Pro-drop, Verb movement to AGR) is not sufficient to precisely characterize their specific syntactic properties. The aim of this workshop was to present current research on Romance languages within surface-based grammar formalisms to see whether these frameworks may shed more light on syntactic typology . While the emphasis was on recent work within Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), comparisons with related work within Categorial Grammar and Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) were made. The topics explored included different aspects of the verbal domain (modal and `auxiliary' verbs, causatives, pronominal clitics, negation, and word order). The languages considered were mostly French, Italian and Spanish.

COMMENTS (from Anne Abeille): The workshop was successful in attracting more than 40 people everyday, even though lots of interesting classes or workshop were being held in parallel during the same time slot. It was also successful for the exchange of data from different Romance languages (especially from a dozen people from Romania who were part of the audience) and also for the comparison of analyses and frameworks. HPSG was used by 9 speakers out of 13, but there was an excellent scientific atmosphere that made it clear that people working in HPSG , LFG and CG can share a lot. Unfortunately, there were too many talks scheduled, making it difficult to have sufficient discussion. This was partly remedied by having 2 hour, instead of 90 minute slots in the last 3 days.

The clear conclusions to be drawn are that: (1) there is a growing Romance syntactic community that is not happy with the GB monopoly of Romance conferences such as Going Romance and (2) we should get organized. Luca Dini and Sergio Balari are editing a special CSLI volume called HPSG for Romance, to be out early in 1997. Paola Monachesi is maintaining a web site on the syntax of romance languages:

http://www.sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de/~paola/

where the abstracts of all the ESSLLI talks and some related papers can be found as well as an embryonic bibliography. It would be great if open minded Romance syntacticians could have a look at this site and help improve it by adding information to it including pointers to their papers.

MISC.: A number of Rumanian researchers were present at ESSLLI, some of whom are interested in making contacts with researchers in the HPSG community. Among these are Emil Ionescu and Ana Maria Barbu (ana@nlpz.ici.ro) and Amalia Todirascu (amalia@infoiasi.ro).


3. ESSLLI 96 Symposium on Coordination (Prague)

(Summary from Ivan Sag)

This symposium revealed a remarkable degree of convergence among different approaches to the problem of non-constituent coordination. Milward's work on Dynamic Grammars served as a direct inspiration for work by Chris Manning (with John Maxwell) in LFG and work by Jim Blevins and Ivan Sag in HPSG. The open discussion in Prague focussed on key data and also on the differences and similarities among the various approaches.

Anne Abeille's lexical HPSG analysis of the interestingly different French coordination data was presented and discussed, as was the categorial grammar analysis presented by Polly Jacobson. Jacobson's analysis was particularly interesting, as it crucially abandoned the use of function composition for leftward extraction, adopting the feature-based alternative suggested by Dick Oehrle (WCCFL 1990), which is a phrase structure-categorial grammar blend quite in the spirit of HPSG.

Abstracts can be found at the following website:

4. ESSLLI 96 HPSG Student Presentations (Prague)

(Summary from Kordula De Kuthy)

Among the 20 papers presented at the first ESSLLI student session in Prague two were related to HPSG:

1. Zelal G"ung"ord"u (gungordu@cogsci.ed.ac.uk)

Incremental Parsing of Head-Final Languages

In this talk a parsing algorithm for head-final languages based on HPSG was presented which attaches every word in a global structure as soon as it is encountered. It was shown how the algorithm works for Turkish, a "free" word-order, head-final language. The main feature of the approach is to make use of certain language specific properties and certain features of the underlying formalism in building the structure incrementally.

2. Kordula De Kuthy (dekuthi@sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de)

Linearization versus Movement: Evidence from German Pied-Piped Infinitives

The talk started out with the question whether the pied-piping of infinitives in German relative clauses should be analyzed in a linearization-based account or as an unbounded dependency construction. It was then shown that there is clear empirical evidence for a UDC approach. Two different theories for the pied-piping construction were provided: one based on the relative clause analysis of Pollard and Sag (1994, chapter 5), the other on the new proposal for relative clauses by Sag (1995).

Both papers are published in
Anne-Marie Mineur (ed.): 'Proceedings of the First ESSLLI Student Session'


5. East-West Seminar on Computational Linguistics (Tübingen)

(Summary from Adam Przepiorkowski)

The following HPSG-related events took place during the "International Center Workshop on Computational Linguistics at the University of Tübingen", 16-27 September, 1996:

The seminar served as an exchange forum for researchers from Eastern and Western Europe working in Computational Linguistics. Apart from HPSG, other major topics were Dependency Grammar, Statistical Methods, Computational Lexicography and Machine Translation.


6. Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics (Nancy)

LOGICAL ASPECTS OF COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS

Nancy, France, 23-25 September 96
Co-organized by INRIA-Lorraine and CRIN-C.N.R.S.

The following HPSG-related talks were delivered:

  2. Awards to Anne Abeille
  3. Recent Moves


1. HPSG Standing Committee

Starting with the HPSG conference held in Marseille this year, an HPSG standing committee has taken over the responsibility to organize the yearly conferences. Membership rotates and new members are elected at the yearly events. The current members of the standing committee are: Daniele Godard, Erhard Hinrichs, Andreas Kathol (1997-), Detmar Meurers, Tsuneko Nakazawa, John Nerbonne (-1997), Carl Pollard, Louisa Sadler, and Ivan Sag (-1997).


2. Awards to Anne Abeille

Anne Abeille (U. Paris 7) recently won two awards. First -- the CNRS bronze medal, which distinguishes the research of young and promising researchers. She will also receive the CNRS Silver Medal in a ceremony in October. (We're all hoping she will get the gold in 4 years time. :-)). She has in addition been nominated for the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) as a junior member. Her 5-year appointment provides research support and release time from teaching. Her goals are to pursue her ongoing collaborations on French grammar in HPSG and to build up a tree bank for French. Congratulations, Anne!

A labelled deductive system for constraint-based grammar formalisms

This work seeks to integrate constraint-based grammar formalisms like HPSG with resource-sensitive, deductive systems like Type Logical Grammar (Morrill 1994). Various linguistic topics are explored within this architecture, including: a constraint-based account of coordination and gapping, the introduction of generalized quantifiers into a system like HPSG, and binding theoretic constraints within TLG-style frameworks.

Mixed categories in the hierarchical lexicon

It is often assumed that there is a small number of primitive, universal, and perhaps innate syntactic categories. Mixed category constructions involve lexical items that seem to be central members of more that one part of speech and so pose a problem for the standard view of syntactic categories. For example, the verbal gerund phrase in (1) has some internal properties of a VP but the external distribution of an NP.

(1) Chris worried about Pat's frequently eating hamburgers.

The verbal gerund "losing" has both verbal and nominal properties. It combines with a direct object and an adverb, but it also combines with possessor and occurs as the object of a preposition. This dissertation will develop an HPSG analysis of this and other mixed category constructions based on a more fine-grained theory of syntactic categories. A category like "noun" is actually a bundle of recurring grammatical information represented as constraints on types in the hierarchical lexicon. Mixed categories have an atypical combination of information. For example, the verbal gerund shares the distributional properties of nouns and the selectional properties of verbs, but is not a member of either category per se. Since under this view different dimensions of grammatical information can, in principle, vary independently, the behavior of mixed categories creates no paradox.

Off-line Grammar Compilation for Reversible Natural Language Processing with Constraint-based Grammars

This thesis investigates the role of off-line grammar compilation for natural language processing with constraint-based grammars, more specifically logic and HPSG grammars. A number of important problems with respect to generation and parsing with such grammars are considered and it is shown that off-line grammar compilation can be used to solve these problems in an elegant fashion. The grammar compilation techniques developed in this thesis have in common that they are not geared toward a particular processing direction, i.e., they can be used for both generation and parsing. This direction independence is desirable as it supports reversible natural language processing which is known to be attractive both from a theoretical and a practical perspective.


4. Gerald Penn, University of Tübingen:

Statistical Optimization in a Feature Structure Abstract Machine

Statistical methods can be used to improve any feature-based parser's performance on sets of similar grammars, e.g. grammars representative of the same syntactic theory. I will apply classification techniques to several problems which any feature-based parser must face, such as memoizing feature structures and static profiling for grammar compilation. I will also design and implement a Feature Structure Abstract Machine, on which many of the current generation of feature-based parsing systems may be implemented to take advantage of these optimizations.

An HPSG Analysis of German Separable Prefix Verbs (Working Title)

This dissertation argues that German separable prefixes are words, not prefixes or morphemes in compounds.

This work will show that one does not need to assume lexical entries for every prefix/verb combination. Syntactic relations and semantic selection can account for the large number of compositional prefix/verb combinations.

Wh-in-Situ and a Theory of Quantification

Within transformational grammar, the widely assumed approach on operator scope involves movement of quantifier phrases or wh-phrases in some level of representations. Within HPSG, such topics as quantifier scope, adjuncts, and syntax of interrogatives have been dealt with only individually, and the account of interrogative scope in various languages have not been explored. This thesis aims at providing a non-transformational syntax/semantics interface theory that offers a unified account of those topics.

I propose an extended and revised version of Pollard & Sag's (1994) theory of quantifier scope that utilizes quantifier storage mechanism. By lexicalizing quantifier storage mechanism, the revised version enables lexical heads to access their arguments' quantifier storage, thus providing an account of scope possibilities in raising constructions and UDCs. Moreover I show how Kasper's (1995) proposal on adjuncts can be incorporated in order to account for quantifier scope facts in the examples containing adjuncts, especially postnominal adjuncts. Recognizing that quantifier retrieval is necessary at both phrasal nodes and lexical heads allows to explain a wider range of scope facts, including interrogative scope.

Wh-phrases are assumed to be the same kind of semantic object as quantifiers. The proposed account of wh-scope is, then, based on the revised theory of quantifier scope. Thus interrogative scope in wh-in-situ languages is determined in essentially the same way as quantifier scope, by contrast to a common approach wherein wh-in-situ languages are analyzed in terms of mechanisms motivated for syntactic wh-movement languages. The present approach naturally explains why in-situ wh-phrases do not observe some constraints that fronting of wh-phrases does. Interrogative scope in various types of wh-questions across languages are explained in terms of different licensing conditions on wh-retrieval. For example, in a wh-in-situ language in which interrogatives are marked morphologically, such a condition requires the presence of a question morpheme, which is represented by a feature value. On the other hand, in a syntactic wh-movement language in which the syntactic position of a wh-phrase determines questionhood, wh-retrieval should be syntactically licensed. A syntactic licensing condition appears in a loosened form in an optional wh-movement language.

In the remainder of the thesis, a number of related issues such as scope interaction between wh-phrases and quantifier phrases, scope of amount quantifier wh-phrases, and multiple wh-questions are taken up to be reconsidered under the proposed analysis of operator scope.
