Structure-Sharing in Lexical Representation (2009)
Daniel Fllekinger, Carl Pollard, Thomas Wasow
The lexicon now plays a central role in our implementation of a Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), given the massive relocation into the lexicon of linguistic information that was carried...
On the Syntax-Semantics Interface: From Convergent Grammar to Abstract Categorial Grammar (2009)
De Groote, Philippe, Pogodalla, Sylvain, Pollard, Carl
Cooper's storage technique for scoping in situ operators has been employed in theoretical and computational grammars of natural language (NL) for over thirty years, but has been widely viewed as ad...

Abstract Minimal Recursion Semantics (2008)
An Introduction, Ann Copestake, Dan Flickinger, Ivan A. Sag, Carl Pollard
Minimal recursion semantics (MRS) is a framework for computational semantics that is suitable for parsing and

Standard possible worlds semantics has been known from the start to have a problem with granularity: for a wide range of naturallanguage (NL) entailment patterns, not enough meaning distinctions are...

The Journal of Language and Computation (2007)
Language And Computation, Michele Abrusci, Nick Asher, Johan Van Benthem, Robert Berwick, Peter Bosch, ...
In this paper we show that the dynamic interpretation techniques of Janssen (assignment modalities), Groenendijk and Stokhof (dynamic binding), and Hendriks (exibly scoping rules) enable a rigorous...
A HIGHER-ORDER FINE-GRAINED LOGIC FOR INTENSIONAL SEMANTICS (2007)
Chris Fox A, Shalom Lappin, Carl Pollard
pollardSling. ohio-state. edu Abstract. This paper describes a higher-order logic with fine-grained intensionality (FIL). Unlike traditional Montogovian type theory, intensionality is treated as...

It has been almost ten years since the classic Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (Gazdar, Klein, Pullum, and Sag 1985) appeared. And like its predecessor, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar will...

curry-typed logic for natural language semantics (2002)
Abstract. The paper presents Property Theory with Curry Typing (PTCT) where the language of terms and well-formed formulæ are joined by a language of types. In addition to supporting fine-grained...
First-Order, Curry-Typed Logic for Natural (2002)

The paper presents Property Theory with Curry Typing (PTCT) where the language of terms and well-formed formul are joined by a language of types. In addition to supporting fine-grained...
Guarded Constraints in Natural Language (2002)
Kathryn Baker July, Kathryn L. Baker, Carl Pollard, Rich Thomason, Chris Manning, Carl Pollard, ...
In a linguistic theory, features constrain a well-formed constituent, such as a phrase or a sentence. Identifying such a constituent from an input can be cast as a constraint-solving problem....
Coordination and neutralization in HPSG (2002)
Ingria (1990) pointed out that neutralization (also called indeterminacy), including the special case of feature value syncretism, seemed to pose a problem for unification-based grammar. Few linguists
Extraposition via complex domain formation (1995)
We propose a novel approach to extraposi-tion in German within an alternative con-ception of syntax in which syntactic struc-ture and linear order are mediated not via encodings of hierarchical...
Lexical rules in HPSG: What are they (1995)
Lexical rules, or lexical redundancy rules as they're often called, have a venerable history stretching back at least to Jackendo 1975, and they've played an important role in numerous...
Linear Precedence Constraints and Reentrancy (1995)
Robert Kasper Andreas, Andreas Kathol, Carl Pollard
this paper, we will develop a more general treatment of LP constraints, in which two distinct elements are ordered in a domain ffi if a certain relation holds among them, i.e., if
A Relational Interpretation of Linear Precedence Constraints (1995)

On the Left Periphery of German Subordinate Clauses (1995)
this paper, we argue for a return to the fundamental insight behind the pre-Barriers approach to embedded left-peripheral structures in German. This is motivated by a whole battery of facts, mostly...
