"text": "In order to understand a newspaper article, or any other piece of text, it is necessary to construct a representation of its meaning that is amenable to some form of inference. This requires a syntactic representation which is transparent to the underlying semantics, making the local and long-range dependencies between heads, arguments, and modifiers explicit. It also requires a grammar that has sufficient coverage to deal with the vocabulary and the full range of constructions that arise in free text, together with a parsing model that can identify the correct analysis among the many alternatives that such a wide-coverage grammar will generate even for the simplest sentences. Given our current machine learning techniques, such parsing models typically need to be trained on relatively large treebanks-that is, text corpora hand-labeled with detailed syntactic structures. Because such annotation requires linguistic expertise, and is therefore difficult to produce, we are currently limited to at most a few treebanks per language.",

"text": "One of the largest and earliest such efforts is the Penn Treebank (Marcus, Santorini, and Marcinkiewicz 1993; Marcus et al. 1994) , which contains a one-million word subcorpus of Wall Street Journal text that has become the de facto standard training and test data for statistical parsers. Its annotation, which is based on generic phrasestructure grammar (with coindexed traces and other null elements indicating non-local dependencies) and function tags on nonterminal categories providing (a limited degree of) syntactic role information, is designed to facilitate the extraction of the underlying predicate-argument structure. Statistical parsing on the Penn Treebank has made great progress by focusing on the machine-learning or algorithmic aspects (Magerman 1994; Ratnaparkhi 1998; Collins 1999; Charniak 2000; Henderson 2004; McDonald, Crammer, and Pereira 2005) . However, this has often resulted in parsing models and evaluation measures that are both based on reduced representations which simplify or ignore the linguistic information represented by function tags and null elements in the original Treebank. (One exception is Collins 1999, whose Model 2 includes a distinction between arguments and adjuncts, and whose Model 3 additionally captures wh-movement in relative clauses with a GPSG-like \"slash-feature-passing\" mechanism.)",

"text": "The reasons for this shift away from linguistic adequacy are easy to trace. The very healthy turn towards quantitative evaluation interacts with the fact that just about every dimension of linguistic variation exhibits a Zipfian distribution, where a very small proportion of the available alternatives accounts for most of the data. This creates a temptation to concentrate on capturing the few high-frequency cases at the top end of the distribution, and to ignore the \"long tail\" of rare events such as non-local dependencies. Despite the fact that these occur in a large number of sentences, they affect only a small number of words, and have thus a small impact on overall dependency recovery.",

"text": "Although there is now a sizable literature on trace and function-tag insertion algorithms (Blaheta and Charniak 2000; Johnson 2002; Campbell 2004) , and integrated parsing with function tags or null elements Dubey 2003a, 2003b; Merlo and Musillo 2005; Gabbard, Kulick, and Marcus 2006) , such approaches typically require additional pre-or postprocessing steps that are likely to add further noise and errors to the parser output. A completely integrated approach that is based on a syntactic representation which allows direct recovery of the underlying predicate-argument structure might therefore be preferable. Such representations are provided by grammar formalisms that are more expressive than simple phrase-structure grammar, like Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) (Kaplan and Bresnan 1982) , Head-driven Phrase-Structure Grammar (HPSG) (Pollard and Sag 1994) , Tree-Adjoining Grammar (TAG) (Joshi and Schabes 1992) , Minimalist Program-related Grammars (Stabler 2004) , or Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) (Steedman 1996 (Steedman , 2000 .

"text": "CCG directly captures the non-local dependencies involved in these and other constructions, including control and raising, via an enriched notion of syntactic types, without the need for syntactic movement, null elements, or traces. It also provides a \"surface-compositional\" syntax-semantics interface, in which monotonic rules of semantic composition are paired one-to-one with rules of syntactic composition. The corresponding predicate-argument structure or logical form can therefore be directly obtained from any derivation if the semantic interpretation of each lexical entry is known. In this article and in CCGbank, we approximate such semantic interpretations with dependency graphs that include most semantically relevant non-anaphoric local and long-range dependencies. Although certain decisions taken by the builders of the original Penn Treebank mean that the syntactic derivations that can be obtained from the Penn Treebank are not always semantically correct (as we will discuss), subsequent work by Bos et al. (2004) and Bos (2005) has demonstrated that the output of parsers trained on CCGbank can also be directly translated into logical forms such as Discourse Representation Theory structures (Kamp and Reyle 1993) , which can then be used as input to a theorem prover in applications like question answering and textual entailment recognition.",

"text": "Translating the Treebank into this more demanding formalism has revealed certain sources of noise and inconsistency in the original annotation that have had to be corrected in order to permit induction of a linguistically correct grammar. Because of this preprocessing, the dependency structures in CCGbank are likely to be more consistent than those extracted directly from the Treebank via heuristics such as those given by Magerman (1994) and Collins (1999) , and therefore may also be of immediate use for dependency-based approaches. However, the structure of certain constructions, such as compound nouns or fragments, is deliberately underspecified in the Penn Treebank. Although we have attempted to semi-automatically restore the missing structure wherever possible, in many cases this would have required additional manual annotation, going beyond the scope of our project. We suspect that these properties of the original Treebank will affect any similar attempt to extract dependency structures or grammars for other expressive formalisms. The Penn Treebank is the earliest (and still the largest) corpus of its kind; we hope that our experiences will extend its useful life, and help in the design of future treebanks.",

In most cases, the category C is equal to the parent category C without any features such as [dcl] , [ng] , and so forth, and the modifier combines with the head via simple function application. As shown in Figure 1 , in many cases, a more elegant (and general) analysis can be obtained if we allow modifiers to compose with the head. For example, regularly has the category (S\\NP)\\(S\\NP) in sentences such as I visit certain places regularly, because it modifies the verb phrase visit certain places, which has the category S[dcl]\\NP. But in the corresponding relative clause places that I visit regularly or with heavy NP shift (I visit regularly certain places in Europe), regularly modifies visit, that is, a constituent with category (S[dcl]\\NP)/NP.

There are many syntactic regularities associated with word classes, however, which may potentially generate a large number of lexical entries for each item in that class. One particularly frequent example of this is clausal adjuncts. Figure 3 illustrates how the basic algorithm described above leads to a proliferation of adjunct categories. For example, a past participle such as used would receive a different category in a reduced relative like Figure 3 (a) from its standard category (S[pss]\\NP)/(S[to]\\NP). As a consequence, modifiers of used would also receive different categories depending on what occurrence of used they modify. This is undesirable, because we are only guaranteed to acquire a complete lexicon if we have seen all participles (and their possible modifiers) in all their possible surface positions. Similar regularities have been recognized and given a categorial analysis by Carpenter (1992) , who advocates lexical rules to account for the use of predicatives as adjuncts.

The lexicon extracted from sections 02-21 contains the necessary categories (as determined by our translation algorithm) for 94.0% of all tokens in section 00 (42,707 out of 45,422). The missing entries that would be required for the remaining 6% of tokens fall into two classes: 1,728, or 3.8%, correspond to completely unknown words that do not appear at all in section 02-21, whereas the other 2.2% of tokens do appear in the training set, but not with the categories required in section 00. All statistical parsers have to be able to accept unknown words in their input, regardless of the underlying grammar formalism. Typically, frequency information for rare words in the training data is used to estimate parameters for unknown words (and when these rare or unknown words are encountered during parsing, additional information may be obtained from a POS-tagger (Collins 1997) ). However, in a lexicalized formalism such as CCG, there is the additional problem of missing lexical entries for known words. Because lexical categories play such an essential role in CCG, even a small fraction of missing lexical entries can have a significant effect on coverage, since the parser will not be able to obtain the correct analysis for any sentence that contains such a token. Hockenmaier and Steedman (2002) show that this lexical coverage problem does in practice have a significant impact on overall parsing accuracy. However, because many of the known words with missing entries do not appear very often in the training data, Hockenmaier (2003a) demonstrates that this problem can be partially alleviated if the frequency threshold below which rare words are treated as unseen is set to a much higher value than for standard Treebank parsers. An alternative approach, advocated by , is to use a supertagger which predicts lexical CCG categories in combination with a discriminative parsing model.",

The translation process would have been easier if some of the annotation had been more explicit and precise (as in the case of VP coordination, where preprocessing was required to identify the conjuncts, or in NP coordination, where we were not able to distinguish NP lists from appositives) and consistent (most importantly in identifying adjuncts and arguments). An important conclusion that follows for the builders of future treebanks is that the tradition established by the Penn Treebank of including all linguistically relevant dependencies should be continued, with if anything even closer adherence to semantically informed linguistic insights into predicate-argument structural relations. Our results also indicate that corpora of at least the order of magnitude of the Penn Treebank are necessary to obtain grammars and parsers that are sufficiently expressive, robust, and wide in coverage to recover these relations completely.",
