Coordinated Morphological and Syntactic Analysis of Japanese Language

The 12th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence : 24-30 August 1991A method for parallel morphological and syntactic analysis of Japanese language is proposed. Parallel syntactic analysis is based on an efficient parallel LR parsing algorithm for general context-free grammars. It handles syntactic features as constraints. Each syntactic feature is defined by a verbal sub-categorization and attached to a special set of phrases called bunsetsu in Japanese. The bunsetsu is used as a processing unit for both analyses. All processes act asynchronously, and are coordinated on a P-RAM(Parallel Random Access Machine)
