Towards an implementable dependency grammar
The aim of this paper is to define a dependency grammar framework which is
both linguistically motivated and computationally parsable. See the demo at

An Integrated Framework for Treebanks and Multilayer Annotations
Treebank formats and associated software tools are proliferating rapidly,
with little consideration for interoperability. We survey a wide variety of
treebank structures and operations, and show how they can be mapped onto the
annotation graph model, and leading to an integrated framework encompassing
tree and non-tree annotations alike. This development opens up new
possibilities for managing and exploiting multilayer annotations.Comment: 8 page
Incremental Interpretation: Applications, Theory, and Relationship to Dynamic Semantics
Why should computers interpret language incrementally? In recent years
psycholinguistic evidence for incremental interpretation has become more and
more compelling, suggesting that humans perform semantic interpretation before
constituent boundaries, possibly word by word. However, possible computational
applications have received less attention. In this paper we consider various
potential applications, in particular graphical interaction and dialogue. We
then review the theoretical and computational tools available for mapping from
fragments of sentences to fully scoped semantic representations. Finally, we
tease apart the relationship between dynamic semantics and incremental
interpretation.Comment: Procs. of COLING 94, LaTeX (2.09 preferred), 8 page
Corpus Annotation for Parser Evaluation
We describe a recently developed corpus annotation scheme for evaluating
parsers that avoids shortcomings of current methods. The scheme encodes
grammatical relations between heads and dependents, and has been used to mark
up a new public-domain corpus of naturally occurring English text. We show how
the corpus can be used to evaluate the accuracy of a robust parser, and relate
the corpus to extant resources.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX (uses eaclap.sty
