For a LIG L and an input string x of length n, we build a non ambiguous context-free grammar whose sentences are all (and exclusively) valid derivation sequences in L which lead to x. We show that this grammar can be built in (9(n 6) time and that individual parses can be extracted in linear time with the size of the extracted parse tree. Though this O(n 6) upper bound does not improve over previous results, the average case behaves much better. Moreover, practical parsing times can be decreased by some statically performed computations.",

Among these types we can notably cite tree adjoining grammars (TAGs) and linear indexed grammars (LIGs). In (Vijay-Shanker and Weir, 1994) TAGs are transformed into equivalent LIGs. Though context-sensitive linguistic phenomena seem to be more naturally expressed in TAG formalism, from a computational point of view, many authors think that LIGs play a central role and therefore the understanding of LIGs and LIG parsing is of importance. For example, quoted from (Schabes and Shieber, 1994 ) \"The LIG version of TAG can be used for recognition and parsing. Because the LIG formalism is based on augmented rewriting, the parsing algorithms can be much simpler to understand 1See (Boullier, 1996) for an extended version. and easier to modify, and no loss of generality is incurred\". In (Vijay-Shanker and Weir, 1993) LIGs are used to express the derivations of a sentence in TAGs. In (Vijay-Shanker, Weir and Rainbow, 1995) the approach used for parsing a new formalism, the D-Tree Grammars (DTG), is to translate a DTG into a Linear Prioritized Multiset Grammar which is similar to a LIG but uses multisets in place of stacks.",

However, this result is not very interesting since individual parse trees can be as easily extracted directly from the parse forest. This is due to the fact that in the CF case, a tree that is derived (a parse tree) contains all the information about its derivation (the sequence of rewritings used) and therefore there is no need to distinguish between these two notions.

In section 2 we used a CFG (the shared parse forest) for representing all parses in a CFG. In this section we will see how to build a CFG which represents all parses in a LIG. In (Boullier, 1995) we give a recognizer for LIGs with the following scheme: in a first phase a general CF parsing algorithm, working on the CF-backbone builds a shared parse forest for a given input string x. In a second phase, the LIG conditions are checked on this forest. This checking can result in some subtree (production) deletions, namely the ones for which there is no valid symbol stack evaluation. If the resulting grammar is not empty, then x is a sentence. However, in the general case, this resulting grammar is not a shared parse forest for the initial LIG in the sense that the computation of stack of symbols along spines are not guaranteed to be consistent. Such invalid spines are not deleted during the check of the LIG conditions because they could be 7In (Vijay-Shanker and Weir, 1993) the emptiness problem for LIGs is solved by constructing an FSA. composed of sub-spines which are themselves parts of other valid spines. One way to solve this problem is to unfold the shared parse forest and to extract individual parse trees. A parse tree is then kept iff the LIG conditions are valid on that tree. But such a method is not practical since the number of parse trees can be unbounded when the CF-backbone is cyclic. Even for non cyclic grammars, the number of parse trees can be exponential in the size of the input. Moreover, it is problematic that a worst case polynomial size structure could be reached by some sharing compatible both with the syntactic and the %emantic\" features.",
