Tree Adjoining Grammars mit Unifikation

Abstract

Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAGs) - as used in the parsing algorithm of Harbusch - can be improved with respect to compactness and transparency for the task of grammar design. We have combined the two formalisms Tree Adjoining Grammar and Unification in order to benifit from their respective advantages. Our approach is contrasted with the approach of Vijay-Shanker.
