Abstract:

This is a collection of new papers by leading researchers on natural
language parsing. In the past, the problem of how people parse the
sentences they hear - determine the identity of the words in these
sentences and group these words into larger units - has been addressed in
very different ways by experimental psychologists, by theoretical
linguists, and by researchers in artificial intelligence, with little
apparent relationship among the solutions proposed by each group. However,
because of important advances in all these disciplines, research on parsing
in each of these fields now seems to have something significant to
contribute to the others, as this volume demonstrates. The volume includes
some papers applying the results of experimental psychological studies of
parsing to linguistic theory, others which present computational models of
parsing, and a mathematical linguistics paper on tree-adjoining grammars
and parsing. 

Introduction Laurie Karttunen and Arnold M. Zwicky
1. Measuring syntactic complexity relative to discourse context Alice
Davison and Richard Lutz
2. Interpreting questions Elisabet Engdahl
3. How can grammars help parsers? Stephen Crain and Janet Dean Fodor
4. Syntactic complexity Lyn Frazier
5. Processing of sentences with intrasentential code switching Aravind K. Joshi
6. Tree adjoining grammars: how much context-sensitivity is required to
provide reasonable structural descriptions Aravind K. Joshi
7. Parsing in functional unification grammar Martin Kay
8. Parsing in a free word order language Lauri Karttunen and Martin Kay 
9. A new characterization of attachment preferences Fernando C. N. Pereira 
10. On not being led up the garden path: the use of context by the
pscyhological syntax processor Stephen Crain and Mark Steedman
11. Do listeners compute linguistic representations? Michael K. Tanenhaus,
Greg N. Carlson and Mark S. Seidenberg
