The main aim of theGerman government funded FLAGproject1 is to develop technologies for controlled language (CL) and grammar checking applications for German. The project work has therefore been divided into two separate but complementary streams of activity. Firstly, the aim was to develop an modular NLP software architecture for quickly developing different kinds of CL and grammar checking applications. Secondly, to validate the first activity, it was seen as important to build up an empirical base for testing and formally evaluating checking components. Given the lack of existing annotated corpora of errors for German (or indeed for any language as far as the authors know), the construction of such a corpus was a high priority task. This would enable us not only to perform quantitative tests, but also to derive an empirically based typology of errors which the project could use for orientation. The corpus was particularly important given the approach which the FLAG project was taking to the task of grammar and controlled language checking, which relies on a phenomenonoriented approach to the problem of identifying errors, using shallow processing techniques. In order to finetune the heuristics which are central to such an approach, i.e. one based on identifying “candidate errors” of increasing probability, it is essential to have good test suites annotated with respect to the phenomena under investigation. The annotation of the corpus was to be carried out in such a way that we could easily access and quantify snapshots of the data, for producing test suites for testing purposes and for producing statistics on the frequency of particular error types. The research community not only lacked an annotated corpus of errors, there was no existing ontology of errors which could be easily translated into an annotation schema. The definition of such a schema based on traditional descriptions of errors (such as Luik, 1993a; Luik, 1993b) thus formed the first major workpackage. Fortunately, tools for the annotation of corpora, and the management thereof are becoming increasingly sophisticated; it was therefore necessary to evaluate a number of tools in the light of our specific needs.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Bredenkamp:1999:AET.pdf} } @InProceedings{Crysmann:1997, AUTHOR = {Crysmann, Berthold}, TITLE = {The Conspiracy of Quantification and Linear Precedence in European Portuguese Proclisis}, YEAR = {1997}, BOOKTITLE = {Eastern States Conference on Linguistics (ESCOL '97), November 21-23}, EDITOR = {Austin, J. and Lawson, A.}, ADDRESS = {Yale University, New Haven, USA}, PUBLISHER = {CLC Publications}, URL = {https://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~crysmann/papers/Conspire.html}, ABSTRACT = {n this paper, I will address the interaction between quantification and lin-earisation in the grammar of European Portuguese (EP) clitic placement, and suggest that a licensing relation holds between a subset of the natural language quantifiers identified in Generalised Quantifier Theory (GQT) and the order in which the clitic and its host must surface.

In this paper, I shall discuss an apparent paradox in the morphology and syntax of Fox (Mesquakie) complex verbs. In Fox, verbs can be modified by one or more of a variety of preverbs including modals, aspectuals, manner adverbials, numerals, quantifiers, as well as preverbs which increase the valence of the main verb (Dahlstrom, 1997a). While preverb and verb can be separated by words, phrases, or even embedded sentences, suggesting a status as syntactically independent words, in ection (cf. Dahlstrom, 1997a) and derivation (cf. Ackerman and LeSourd, 1994) appear to treat preverb-verb complexes as a single morphological unit. Following the basic assumptions of lexicalist syntax, I claim that Fox preverb-verb combinations are indeed morphologically derived and that inflectional affixes are attached to complex morphological objects in the word-formation component already. In order to account for the syntactic effects, I propose an analysis in Linearisation HPSG (Reape, 1994, Kathol, 1995), which builds on the assumption that Fox preverb-verb complexes introduce more than one domain object into syntax (cf. Kathol, 1996 for German, Crysmann, 1997 for European Portuguese). Further morphological material will then be distributed across preverb and verb by imposing partial morphological (order) constraints on PHON-values.}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Crysmann:1998:MPF.pdf Crysmann:1998:MPF.ps} } @InProceedings{Crysmann:1999, AUTHOR = {Crysmann, Berthold}, TITLE = {Licensing Proclisis in European Portuguese}, YEAR = {1999}, BOOKTITLE = {Empirical Issues in Formal Syntax and Semantics.

It will be shown that approches which mediate the licensing relation by means of syntactic movement (Barbosa, 1996; Duarte, 1983; Madeira, 1992, cf. e.g.) are faced with both motivational and empirical problems. Instead, I claim that surface-syntactic linearisation constraints will relate clitic placement directly to a class of lexical items, which in turn is defined on the basis of semantic properties. Therefore, an integrated model of syntax and semantics is called for which builds on highly articulate lexical information. The analysis will, thus, be carried out in the framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) (Pollard and Sag, 1987; 1994), using multiple inheritance type hierarchies and linearisation constraints. The paper is organised as follows: in the first section, I shall briefly describe the basic empirical observations regarding EP proclisis. In section two, I shall review the empirical problems faced by previous (mostly syntactic) approaches. Section three provides the details of the proposal, starting with a semantic typology of proclisis licensors. In the remainder of the section, I outline the surface-syntactic constraints which define the phenogrammatical relation between licensor and licensee, analysing EP proclisis in an essentially similar way to English negative polarity items (NPI) (cf. Ladusaw, 1996, and reference cited there).} } @InCollection{Crysmann:1999_1, AUTHOR = {Crysmann, Berthold}, TITLE = {Morphosyntactic Paradoxa in Fox}, YEAR = {1999}, BOOKTITLE = {Constraints and Resources in Natural Language Syntax and Semantics}, EDITOR = {Bouma, Gosse and Hinrichs, Erhard and Kruijff, Geert-Jan M. and Oehrle, Richard T.}, SERIES = {Studies in Constraint-Based Lexicalism}, ADDRESS = {Stanford}, PUBLISHER = {CSLI Publications}, URL = {https://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~crysmann/}, ABSTRACT = {In this paper, I shall discuss an apparent paradox in the morphology and syntax of Fox (Mesquakie) complex verbs.

Motivated by the rigorous application of the diagnostic criteria suggested in Zwicky and Pullum (1983) and Miller (1992), clitics in Romance languages are treated as lexical afixes, whose morphological and morphosyntactic properties are derived entirely within the lexicon (Miller and Sag 1997; Monachesi (1996). Weak pronominals in Polish (Kupsc 1999) and second position clitics in Serbo-Croat (Penn 1999), however, enjoy a much higher degree of syntactic transparency, favouring an analysis in terms of linearisation approaches. In this paper, I will suggest that European Portuguese (EP) represents a transitional type, where clitics have already acquired the morphological properties of lexical affixes, yet, ``the rules governing clitic placement seem to relate more to syntax than to prosody or morphology'' (Spencer 1991, p. 365). I will argue that the distinction between constituent structure and order domains, as drawn in linearisation-based variants of HPSG, provides the necessary tools to model the syntax of transparent affixes, relating EP clitics to both their Romance and Slavic counterparts.} } @InCollection{Crysmann:2001_1, AUTHOR = {Crysmann, Berthold}, TITLE = {Clitics and Coordination in Linear Structure}, YEAR = {2001}, BOOKTITLE = {Clitics in Phonology, Morphology, and Syntax}, VOLUME = {36}, PAGES = {121-159}, EDITOR = {Gerlach, B. and Grijzenhout, J.}, SERIES = {Linguistics Today}, ADDRESS = {Amsterdam}, PUBLISHER = {John Benjamins}, URL = {https://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/~crysmann/papers/ClCoord.html}, ABSTRACT = {In the context of lexicalist studies of Romance cliticisation, the development and rigorous application of diagnostic criteria (Zwicky and Pullum, 1983; Miller, 1992) as to their lexical or syntactic status has always enjoyed a central role. As a result, there is a vast body of evidence in French and Italian (Miller 1992; Miller and Sag, 1997; Monachesi, 1996) that weak pronominals in these languages resemble ordinary bound affixes much more than true postlexical clitics. In particular, syntactic, semantic, morphological, and phonological criteria jointly militate against the view of Romance clitics as proper inhabitants of the syntactic world. As a side effect, the distinction between lexical affixes and postlexical clitics (Halpern, 1995) is seen as a strict dichotomy, with little or no room for true morpho-syntactic hybrids. I will argue in this paper that transitional types do indeed occur, which are characterised by the fact that one group of criteria (e.g. morphological criteria) positively suggest syntactic opacity, while almost all syntactic criteria demand a degree of transparency. Based on data from clitic placement and coordination, however, I will suggest that the syntactic transparency is highly superficial in nature, and thus favours an account in terms of word order variation. This perspective will also prove to make appropriate predictions in the context of semantic idiosyncrasies.} } @InProceedings{Crysmann_et_al:2002, AUTHOR = {Crysmann, Berthold and Frank, Anette and Kiefer, Bernd and Krieger, Hans-Ulrich and Müller, Stefan and Neumann, Günter and Piskorski, Jakub and Schäfer, Ulrich and Siegel, Melanie and Uszkoreit, Hans and Xu, Feiyu}, TITLE = {An Integrated Architecture for Shallow and Deep Processing}, YEAR = {2002}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of ACL-2002, Association for Computational Linguistics 40th Anniversary Meeting, July 7-12}, ADDRESS = {Philadelphia, USA}, URL = {http://www.dfki.de/~feiyu/wb-acl02.pdf http://www.dfki.de/~neumann/publications/new-ps/wb-acl02.pdf}, ANNOTE = {COLIURL : Crysmann:2002:IAS.pdf} } @InProceedings{Forst_et_al:2004, AUTHOR = {Forst, Martin and Bertomeu, Nuria and Crysmann, Berthold and Fouvry, Frederik and Hansen-Schirra, Silvia and Kordoni, Valia}, TITLE = {Towards a dependency-based gold-standard for German parsers - The TiGer Dependency Bank}, YEAR = {2004}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the LINC-04 Workshop}, ADDRESS = {Geneva} } @InProceedings{Cry2007, AUTHOR = {Crysmann, Berthold}, TITLE = {Local Ambiguity Packing and Discontinuity in German}, YEAR = {2007}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the ACL Workshop on Deep Linguistic Processing, June 28, Prague}, NOTE = {HU} } @InProceedings{BoCr2007, AUTHOR = {Von Boeselager, Philipp and Crysmann, Berthold}, TITLE = {Prosodic disambiguation from deep syntactic structures}, YEAR = {2007}, MONTH = {6-10 August}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the International Congress of the Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS) 2007}, ADDRESS = {Saarbruecken}, ORGANIZATION = {Universitaet des Saarlandes}, NOTE = {HU} } @InProceedings{CryFue2007, AUTHOR = {Crysmann, Berthold and Von Boeselager, Philipp}, TITLE = {Using an HPSG grammar for the generation of prosodic structures}, YEAR = {2007}, MONTH = {20-22 July}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the HPSG 2007 Conference, CSLI Publications, Stanford}, EDITOR = {Müller, Stefan}, NOTE = {HU} } @Article{FrKrXuUsCrSc2007, AUTHOR = {Frank, Anette and Krieger, Hans-Ulrich and Xu, Feiyu and Uszkoreit, Hans and Crysmann, Berthold and Schäfer, Ulrich}, TITLE = {Question Answering from Structured Knowledge Sources}, YEAR = {2007}, JOURNAL = {Journal of Applied Logics, Special Issue on Questions and Answers: Theoretical and Applied Perspectives}, VOLUME = {5}, NUMBER = {1}, PAGES = {20-48}, NOTE = {HU, MP} } @InProceedings{AdOeCaCrFlKi2008, AUTHOR = {Adolphs, Peter and Oepen, Stephan and Callmeier, Ulrich and Crysmann, Berthold and Flickinger, Dan and Kiefer, Bernd}, TITLE = {Some fine points of hybrid natural language parsing}, YEAR = {2008}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation : LREC 2008, May 26 - June 1, 2008, Palais des congrès Mansour Eddahbi, Marrakech, Morocco}, PAGES = {1380-1387}, ADDRESS = {Paris}, ORGANIZATION = {ELRA}, NOTE = {HU} }
