Deutsche Und Franzosische Syntax Im Formalismus Der Lfg

The work documents two linguistically well-grounded grammar fragments for German and French developed in the framework of maschine translation. The grammars are based on the theory of Lexical-Functional Grammar, relate to central areas of German and French syntax and thus represent one of the few implementations of major grammar fragments based on a well-founded theory of grammar. Given the modular architecture of the translation system, the use of the grammars thus derived is not limited to maschine translation alone. The individual grammars for the respective languages can also be used in other areas of language processing (knowledge-based systems, data-bank inquiry systems etc.).
