<div>Dear Stefan,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Probably the most successful commercial MT system based on LFG, and yet least known in the LFG circle, is the Apptek system (<a href="http://www.apptek.com/">www.apptek.com</a>), which covers multiple language pairs. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The system was first developed in the late 80's by the Provo-based firm Executive Communication Systems (ECS), with Dan Higginbotham as the chief architect, Joseph Pentheroudakis the English linguist, and me the Chinese linguist. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The McLean-based firm Apptek developed the English-Arabic system with the ECS LFG-based parser in the early 90's and later acquired the entire ECS system and has since been a highly successful company of language technologies.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The gist of the early ECS system was described in two early papers:<br></div>

<blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote">Hi,<br><br>I am about to finish a text book about grammar theory and I want to list<br>systems for processing LFG and grammars that have been implemented on<br>
computers. Currently I have the following systems/references:<br><br>Frey und Reyle: 1983a,b,<br>Yasukawa: 1984,<br>Block und Hunze: 1986,<br>Eisele und Dorre: 1986,<br>Wada und Asher: 1986,<br>Butt, King, Niño und Segond: 1999, Butt, Dyvik, King, Masuichi und<br>
Rohrer: 2002<br><br>I am probably missing relevant pointers ...<br><br>As far as languages are concerned, I found:<br><br>• Arabisch (Attia: 2008)<br>• Bengalisch (Sengupta und Chaudhuri: 1997),<br>• Dänisch (Ørsnes: 2002, Ørsnes und Wedekind: 2003, 2004)<br>
• Deutsch (Rohrer: 1996, Berman: 1996, Kuhn und Rohrer: 1997, Forst:<br>2006, Forst und Rohrer: 2009)<br>• Englisch (King und Maxwell III: 2007)<br>• Französisch (Frank: 1996)<br>• Georgisch (Meurer: 2009)<br>• Indonesisch (Arka, Andrews, Dalrymple, Mistica und Simpson: 2009)<br>
• Japanisch (Umemoto: 2006)<br>• Malagasy<br>• Mandarin Chinesisch (Fang und King: 2007)<br>• Norwegisch (Ørsnes und Wedekind: 2003, 2004)<br>• Spanisch<br>• Tigrinya<br>• Türkisch (Çetinoglu und Oflazer: 2006)<br>• Ungarisch<br>
• Urdu/Hindi (Butt, King und Roth: 2007, Bögel, Butt und Sulger: 2008)<br>• Vietnamesisch<br>• Walisisch<br><br>Again the list is probably incomplete and the references inappropriate.<br>For some languages I could find an online demo, but no papers. Ideally I<br>
want to give credit to all of the authors who worked at a grammar some<br>time. The ideal paper for my purpose is a paper that describes<br>linguistic aspects and mentions the implementation (example Christian<br>Rohrers paper about coherent constructions in German).<br>
<br>If there are high profile publications that are based on implementations<br>without mentioning this, I would also be interested in learning about<br>this (for instance Dalrymple/Kaplan's coordination analysis, implemented?).<br>
