Comparing the performance of two TAG-based surface realisers using controlled grammar traversal
We present GENSEM, a tool for generating input semantic representations for two sentence generators based on the same reversible Tree Adjoining Grammar. We then show how GENSEM ca...

Synchronous Tree Adjoining Machine Translation
Tree Adjoining Grammars have well-known advantages, but are typically considered too difficult for practical systems. We demonstrate that, when done right, adjoining improves tran...

Extending a Surface Realizer to Generate Coherent Discourse
We present a discourse-level Tree Adjoining Grammar which tightly integrates syntax and discourse levels, including a representation for discourse entities. We show that this tech...

Monotonic C-Command: A New Perspective on Tree Adjoining Grammar
In this paper we argue for a reconceptualization of the Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) formalism, in which the elementary structures are collections of c-command relations, and the ...

Licensing and Tree Adjoining Grammar in Government Binding Parsing
This paper presents an implemented, psychologicallyplausible parsing model for Government Binding theory grammars. I make use of two main ideas: (1) a generalization of the licens...

A Functional Approach to Generation with TAG
It has been hypothesized that Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) is particularly well suited for sentence generation. It is unclear, however, how a sentence generation system based on T...

Coordination in Tree Adjoining Grammars: Formalization and Implementation
In this paper we show that an account for coordination can be constructed usingthederivationstructures inalexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar (LTAG). We present a notion of derivat...

Generating an LTAG out of a Principle-based Hierarchical Representation
Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars have proved useful for NLP. However, numerous redundancy problems face LTAGs developers, as highlighted by Vijay-Shanker and Schabes (92). We p...

Sentence Planning as Description Using Tree Adjoining Grammar
We present an algorithm for simultaneously constructing both the syntax and semantics of a sentence using a Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar (LTAG). This approach captures natur...
