UCG is a feature grarnmar incorporating some basic insights from GPSG [GAZDAR 85] and HPSG [POLLARD 84] . Functional application applies in UCG as in categorial grammars; it allows for concatenation of a functor with an adjacent argument. Unification is a basic operation which allows (a) to verify if constraints on concatenation are respected; (b) to produce a flow of information between functor and argument. This information together with some defined aspects of the information carried by the functor, will be finally inscribed in the resulting concatenated sign.", |

These a'ansitions are valid for argumental critics and non-argumental ones (for example, VP modifiers, as y in 1l y a apport~ un livre), but the present paper is only intended to cover the argumental ,u:l ixodl~-q pro~ prom y ~[~] ~[de] ~[v.\u00a2l ~e[dat] The complex information of the matrice are included in a uniform way in the critics lexical entries. The basic template for clitic is : Head~[Feat, Clo2,A,Class] :C / (Head'[FeagClol,A,Class] :C/np~[_,_,_,pro]:nil:pro(X):between Clo2 and Clol constains the matrice information relevant for each clitic. IMPLEMENTATION The UCG French grammar has been implemented at the Laboratoires de Marcoussis (France) on a VAX 780 in C-PROLOG using PIMPLE, a PROLOG implementation of a PATR-II like tool for development of unification grammars, implemented by the Centre for Cognitive Science of Edinburgh University. Some more examples with auxiliaries and critics Entries for the sentence Marie la lui a donn~e : 2 where G = grammatical, * ffi non grammatical, ffi impossible (because an argument of a verb cannot be consumed twice) Marie with [lui,[est, donn~e]] by FA yielding : sent~ [fin,v,(fem:sg:Pe),_] :nil :donner(e, unknown, pro(Z),marie) :0 : [Marie,[lui,[est, donn~e]]]" |
