A PARLOG implementation of Government-Binding Theory
Pages 394 - 396
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to report on research on a parallel parser based on the principles and constraints of Government-Binding Theory. The parser outputs a set of licensing relations, notably thematic or θ-role assignments and antecedent/anaphor and other binding relationships. The primary goal of the system is as a linguistics tool for exploring concurrencyand autonomy among modules of the theory.

Restricting logic grammars with government-binding theory
A parser formalism for natural languages that is so restricted as to rule out the definition of linguistic structures that do not occur in any natural language can make the task of grammar construction easier, whether it is done manually (by a ...

While much research in natural-language processing (NLP) has been devoted to microlevel analyses of constrained text, many applications, such as machine translation, message understanding and information retrieval, call for capabilities in the ...
