We have now set up a website for the SOAS HPSG ellipsis project (URL
http://semantics.soas.ac.uk/ellip/). This is an EPSRC-funded
computational project for the parsing and resolution of ellipsis
structures, directed by Professor Shalom Lappin.

The system we have developed comprises an HPSG [1] typed feature
grammar for a fragment of English including some of the most often
cited ellipsis structures (currently intersentential VP ellipsis and
ACE), and a postprocessing procedure for resolving the ellipsis by "in
situ" reconstruction. The system is implemented in ProFIT [2]. The
site makes the programs available to researchers, along with
documentation covering related theoretical and implementational
issues.

Any enquiries or comments please to HG4 at soas.ac.uk or SL3 at soas.ac.uk
