"text": "As the examples discussed below show, some linguistic constraints cannot be effectively resolved during parsing at the location in which they are most naturally introduced. In a backtracking parser, a natural way of dealing with such constraints is to coroutine them with the other parsing processes, reducing them only when the parse tree is sufficiently instantiated so that they can be deterministically resolved. Such parsers are particularly easy to implement in extended versions of Prolog (such as Pro-loglI, SICStus Prolog and Eclipse) which have such coroutining facilities built-in. Like all backtracking parsers, they can exhibit non-termination and exponential parse times in situations where memoizing parsers (such as chart parsers) can terminate in polynomial time. Unfortunately, the coroutining approach, which requires that constraints share variables in order to communicate, seems to be incompatible with standard memoization techniques, which *This research was largely conducted at the Institut ffir maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung in Stuttgart.

BN can explain a number of puzzling scope phenomena by proposing that heads (specifically, verbs) subcategorize for adjuncts as well as arguments (rather than allowing adjuncts to subcategorize for the arguments they modify, as is standard in Categorial Grammar).

For simplicity we have not provided a semantics here, but it is easy to add a 'semantic interpretation' as a fourth argument in the usual manner. The forward and backward application rules are specified as clauses of x/3.

"text": "Lexical entries are formalized using a two place relation lex(W0rd, Cat), which is true if Cat is a category that the lexicon assigns to Word. Note that the definitions of add_adjuncSs/2 and division/2 are recursive, and have an infinite number of solutions when only their first arguments are instantiated. This is necessary because the number of adjuncts that can be associated with any given verb is unbounded. Thus it is infeasible to enumerate all of the categories that could be associated with a verb when it is retrieved from the lexicon, so following BN, we treat the predicates add_adjlmcts/2 and division/2 as coroutined constraints which are only resolved when their second arguments become sufficiently instantiated. As noted above, this kind of constraint coroutining is built-in to a number of Prolog implementations. Unfortunately, the left recursion inherent in the combinatory rules mentioned earlier dooms any standard backtracking top-down parser to nontermination, no matter how coroutining is applied to the lexical constraints. As is well-known, memoizing parsers do not suffer from this deficiency, and we present a memoizing interpreter below which does terminate.",

SLD-resolution is generalized in this setting by performing resolution only on relational atoms and simplifying (conjunctions of) basic constraints thus collected in the goal list. When finally only a consistent basic constraint remains, this is an answer constraint \u00a2. Observe that this use of basic constraints generalizes the use of substitutions in ordinary logic programming and the (simplification of a) conjunction of constraints generalizes unification. Actually, pure Prolog can be viewed as a syntactically sugared variant of such a CLP language with equality constraints as basic constraints, where a standard Prolog clause",

"text": "This paper has presented a general framework which allows both constraint coroutining and memoizstion. To achieve maximum generality we stated the Lemma Table proof procedure in HShfeld and Smolka's (1988) CLP framework, but the basic idea--that arbitrary constraints can be allowed to propagate in essentially the same way that variable bindings do--can be applied in most approaches to complex feature based parsing. For example, the technique can be used in chart parsing: in such a system an edge consists not only of a dotted rule and associated variable bindings (i.e., instantiated feature terms), but also contains zero or more as yet unresolved constraints that are propagated (and simplified if sufficiently instantiated) during application of the fundamental rule. At a more abstract level, the identical propagation of both variable bindings and more general constraints leads us to question whether there is any principled difference between them. While still preliminary, our research suggests that it is often possible to reexpress complex feature based grammars more succinctly by using more general constraints.",
