Semantic parsing as graph language transformation: a multidimensional approach to parsing highly inflectional languages

Published: 02 July 1984 Publication History

Abstract

The structure of many languages with "free" word order and rich morphology like Finnish is rather configurational than linear. Although non-linear structures can be represented by linear formalisms it is often more natural to study multidimensional arrangement of symbols. Graph grammars are a multidimensional generalization of linear string grammars. In graph grammars string rewrite rules are generalized into graph rewrite rules. This paper presents a graph grammar formalism and parsing scheme for parsing languages with inherent configurational flavor. A small experimental Finnish parsing system has been implemented (Hyvönen 1983).
