The topological field model is a theory-neutral model of clausal syntax that provides a linguistically motivated, but flat macro structure for complex sentences. Topological structures are highly compatible with deep syntactic analysis, thus perfectly suited for seamless integration of shallow and deep NLP. Besides the practical aspect of developing a robust and accurate topological parser, we investigate to what extent topological structures can be handled by context-free probabilistic models, while trying to detect specific phenomena that require more sophisticated models. We discuss experiments with systematic variants of a topological treebank grammar, which yield competitive results.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Becker:2002:STP.pdf Becker:2002:STP.ps} } @InProceedings{Carroll_et_al:2002, AUTHOR = {Carroll, John and Frank, Anette and Lin, Dekang and Prescher, Detlef and Uszkoreit, Hans}, TITLE = {Introductory pages of the editors}, YEAR = {2002}, BOOKTITLE = {Beyond PARSEVAL - Towards Improved Evaluation Measures for Parsing Systems.

The conversion and grammar extraction process imports linguistic generalisations that are missing the in original treebank. This supports the extraction of a linguistically sound grammar with maximal generalisation, as well as grammar induction techniques to capture unseen data in stochastic parsing. We further illustrate the flexibility of our conversion method by deriving an alternative representation in terms of topological field marking from the NEGRA treebank, which can be used as input for stochastic topological parsing approaches. On a broader perspective our approach contributes to a better understanding on where corpuslinguistics and theoretical linguistics can meet and enrich each other.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Frank:2001:TCC.pdf} } @InProceedings{Frank:2002, AUTHOR = {Frank, Anette}, TITLE = {A (Discourse) Functional Analysis of Asymmetric Coordination}, YEAR = {2002}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 7th International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference (LFG'02), July 3-5}, ADDRESS = {Athens, Greece}, ABSTRACT = {A long-standing puzzle in coordination is the so-called SGF-coordination (Subject Gap in Finite/Fronted constructions) in German (1), first discussed b y (Hoehle 1983). Its syntactic analysis is challenging, since the subject (Jaeger, man) is realised in the middle field in the left conjunct, and is thus - under standard analyses of constituent coordination - not accessible from within the second conjunct, which is missing a subject (hence subject gap).

Nimmt man den Deckel ab und ruehrt die Fuellung um, steigen Daempfe auf. Takes one the cover off and stirrs the stuffing, steam rises. If one takes the cover off and stirrs the stuffing, steam will rise. SGF constructions have been analysed in terms of asymmetrically embedded conjuncts (Wunderlich 1988, Hoehle 1990, Heycock and Kroch 1993, Buering und Hartmann 1998) or symmetric conjuncts (Steedman 1990, Kathol 1995,1999). Asymmetric embedding is problematic as it involves extraction asymmetries, or a doubtful analysis of coordination as adjunction. Symmetric analyses assume special licensing conditions which are not independently motivated. Especially the word order conditions of Kathol's analysis lack any independent syntactic motivation, and fail to account for related asymmetric coordinations of verb-last and verb-fronted (VL/VF) sentences (2). (2) Wenn Du in ein Kaufhaus kommst und (Du) hast kein Geld, kannst Du nichts kaufen. if you in a shop come and you have no money can you nothing buy If you enter a shop and (you) don't have any money, you can't buy anything. We present a multi-factorial LFG analysis of asymmetric constructions (1) and (2), which relies on independently motivated principles of the correspondences between c-structure, f-structure, and i-structure (information structure). SGF coordination is analysed as symmetric coordination in c-structure. Binding of the (prima facie) inaccessible subject of the first conjunct is enabled, at the level of f-structure, by asymmetric projection of a grammaticalised discourse function GDF, a topic or subject function (Bresnan, 2001). Asymmetric GDF projection is motivated by relating the semantic and discourse-functional properties of asymmetric coordination to well-known discourse subordination effects of modal subordination. In conjunction with word order constraints in the optimality model of (Choi 1999, 2001), our analysis explains some mysterious word order constraints as well as some puzzling scoping properties.}, NOTE = {in October} } @InProceedings{Frank_van Genabith:2001, AUTHOR = {Frank, Anette and van Genabith, Josef}, TITLE = {LL-based Semantics for LTAG - and what it teaches us about LFG and LTAG}, YEAR = {2001}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 6th International Lexical Functional Grammar Conference (LFG'01), June 25-27}, EDITOR = {Butt, Miriam and Holloway King, Tracy}, ADDRESS = {Hong Kong}, PUBLISHER = {CSLI Online Publications}, URL = {http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/LFG/6/lfg01frankgenabith.pdf}, ABSTRACT = {We review existing appoaches to semantics construction in LTAG (Lexicalised Tree Adjoining Grammar) based on the notion of derivation (tree)s. We argue that derivation structures in LTAG are not appropriate to guide semantic composition, due to a non-isomorphism, in LTAG between the syntactic operation of adjunction on the one hand, and the semantic operations of complementation and modifcation, on the other. Linear Logic based glue semantics, as developed within the LFG framework (cf. Dalrymple (1999)), allows for flexible coupling of syntactic and semantic structure. We investigate application of glue semantics to LTAG syntax, using as underlying structure the derived tree, which is more appropriate for principle-based semantics construction. We show how Linear Logic based semantics construction helps to bridge the non-isomorphism between syntactic and semantic operations in LTAG. The glue approach captures non-tree local dependencies in control and modifcation structures, and extends to the treatment of scope ambiguity with quantified NPs and VP modifers. Finally, glue semantics applies successfully to the adjunction-based analysis of long-distance dependencies in LTAG, which differs signifcantly from the f-structure based analysis in LFG.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Frank:2001:LBS.pdf} } @InCollection{Frank_Zaenen:2002, AUTHOR = {Frank, Anette and Zaenen, Annie}, TITLE = {Tense in LFG: Syntax and Morphology}, YEAR = {2002}, BOOKTITLE = {How we say WHEN it happens.

More recently, a number of alternatives based on treebank resources (such as Penn-II, Susanne, AP treebank) have been explored. The idea is to automatically “induce” or rather read off (P)CFG grammars from the parse annotated treebank resources and to use the treebank grammars thusobtained in (probabilistic) parsing or as a starting point for further grammar development. The approach is cheap, fast, automatic, large scale, “data driven” and based on real language resources. Treebankgrammars typically involve large sets of lexical tags and non-lexical categories as syntactic informationtends to be encoded in monadic category symbols. They feature flat rules (trees) that can “underspecify” attachment possibilities. Treebank grammars do not in general follow Xbar architectural design principles (this is not to say that treebank grammars do not have design principles). As a consequence, treebank grammars tend to have very large CFG rule bases (e.g. Penn-II > 17,000 CFG rules for about 1 million words of text) with often only minimally differing rules. Even though treebank grammars are large, they are still incomplete, exhibiting unabated rule accession rates. From a grammar engineering point of view, the size of the rule base poses problems for maintainability, extendability and, if a treebank grammar is to be used as a CF-base in a LFG grammar, for functional (feature-structure) annotations. From the point of view of theoretical linguistics, flat treebank trees and treebank grammars extracted from such trees do not express linguistic generalisations. From the perspective of empirical and corpus linguistics, flat trees are well-motivated as they allow underspecification of subtle and often time consuming attachment decisions. Indeed, it is sometimes doubted whether highly general Xbar schemata usefully scale to “real” language. In previous work we developed methodologies for automatic feature-structure annotation of grammars extracted from treebanks. Automatic annotation of “raw” treebank grammars is difficult as annotation rules often need to identify subsequences in the RHSs of flat treebank rules as they explicitly encode head, complement and modifier relations. Xbar-based CFG rules should substantially facilitate automatic feature-structure annotation of grammar rules. In the present paper we conduct a number of experiments to explore a space of possible grammars based on a small fragment of the AP treebank resource. Starting with the original treebank fragment we automatically extract a CFG G. We then apply an automatic structure preserving grammar compaction step which generalises categories in the original treebank fragment and reduces the number of rules extracted, resulting in a generalised treebank fragment and in a compacted grammar Gc. The generalised fragment is then manually corrected to catch missed constituents (and the like) resulting in an automatically extracted, compacted and (effectively manually) corrected grammar Gc;m. Manual correction proceeds in the “spirit” of treebank grammars (we do not introduce Xbar analyses). We then explore how many of the manual correction steps on treebank trees can be achieved automatically. We develop, implement and test an automatic treebank “grooming” methodology which is applied to the generalised treebank fragment to yield a compacted and automatically corrected grammar Gc;a. Grammars Gc;m and Gc;a are very similar to compiled out “flat” LFG-82 style grammars. We explore regular expression based compaction (both manual and automatic) to relate Gc;m to a LFG-82 style grammar design. Finally, we manually recode a subsection of the generalised and manually corrected treebank fragment into “vanilla-flavour” Xbar based trees. From these we extract a compacted, manually corrected, Xbar-based grammar Gc;m;x. We evaluate our grammars and methods using standard labelled bracketing measures and according to how well they perform under automatic feature-structure annotation tasks.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Genabith:19xx:TVX.pdf} } @InProceedings{Frank_Erk:2004, AUTHOR = {Frank, Anette and Erk, Katrin}, TITLE = {Towards an LFG Syntax-Semantics Interface for Frame Semantics Annotation}, YEAR = {2004}, BOOKTITLE = {Fifth International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics (CICLing-2004)}, URL = {Frank:2004:TLS} } @InProceedings{burchardterk2005, AUTHOR = {Burchardt, Aljoscha and Erk, Katrin and Frank, Anette}, TITLE = {A WordNet Detour to FrameNet}, YEAR = {2005}, BOOKTITLE = {Sprachtechnologie, mobile Kommunikation und linguistische Resourcen}, VOLUME = {8}, EDITOR = {Fisseni, Bernhard and Schmitz, Hans-Christian and Schröder, Bernhard}, SERIES = {Computer Studies in Language and Speech}, PUBLISHER = {Peter Lang, Frankfurt am Main} } @InProceedings{burchardtfrank2005, AUTHOR = {Burchardt, Aljoscha and Frank, Anette and Pinkal, Manfred}, TITLE = {Building Text Meaning Representations from Contextually Related Frames - A Case Study}, YEAR = {2005}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Computational Semantics, IWCS-6}, ADDRESS = {Tilburg, The Netherlands} } @InProceedings{FKXU2005, AUTHOR = {Frank, Anette and Krieger, Hans-Ulrich and Xu, Feiyu and Uszkoreit, Hans}, TITLE = {Querying Structured Knowledge Sources}, YEAR = {2005}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of AAAI-05.
