Eliminative Parsing with Graded Constraints

Abstract Resource adaptlvity" Because the sets of strucNatural language parsing is conceived to be a procedure of disambiguation, which successively reduces an initially totally ambiguous structural representation towards a single interpretation. Graded constraints are used as means to express wellformedness conditions of different strength and to decide which partial structures are locally least preferred and, hence, can be deleted. This approach facilitates a higher degree of robustness of the analysis, allows to introduce resource adaptivity into the parsing procedure, and exhibits a high potential for parallelization of the computation.
