2. 1. Expressivity and Complexity of the Grammatical Framework

   Author : Peter Ljunglöf; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Grammatical Framework; generalized context-free grammar; multiple context-free grammar; context-free rewriting systems; type theory; expressive power; abstract syntax; linearization; parsing; context-free rewriting systems;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates the expressive power and parsing complexity of the Grammatical Framework (GF), a formalism originally designed for displaying formal propositions and proofs in natural language. This is done by relating GF with two more well-known grammar formalisms; Generalized Context-Free Grammar (GCFG), best seen as a framework for describing various grammar formalisms; and Parallel Multiple Context-Free Grammar (PMCFG), an instance of GCFG.

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural language processing; Language Engineering; Morphology; Lexicon; Complexity;

   Abstract : Language-processing software is becoming increasingly present in our society. Making such tools available to the greater number is not just a question of access to technology but also a question of language as they need to be adapted, or localized, to each linguistic community.

   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

   Abstract : This book is about how concepts are structured and processed. It is based on the findings in cognitive linguistics over the last decade, where thorough studies have been made about how concepts function. Concepts appear as image schemata, a spatial form of representation with very powerful properties. READ MORE
