"text": "Incremental processing can be achieved with a combination of grammar formalism and derivation/parsing strategy. In this paper we explore some of the computational consequences of deriving the incremental character of the human language processor from the competence grammar. In the following paragraphs, we assume that incremental processing proceeds through a sequence of processing steps. Each step consists of a configuration of partial syntactic structures (possibly connected into only one structure) and a configuration of semantic structures (again, possibly connected into one single expression). These semantic structures result from the application of the semantic interpreter to the syntactic structures in the same processing step. Depending on the semantic rules, some syntactic structures may not be interpretable-that is, some processing steps do not involve an updating of the semantic representation. In the view we present here, competence grammar is responsible for the definition of both the set of well-formed sentences of the language and the set of possible partial structures that are yielded by the derivation process. According to this view, the performance component is responsible for other aspects of language processing, including ambiguity handling and error handling. The latter issues are not addressed in this paper.",

Different algorithms result in different possibilities for the configurations of partial structures that the parser builds. For example, a bottom-up algorithm will never build a partial structure with non-terminal leaf nodes. The standard approach is to assign this responsibility to the parsing algorithm, whether the grammar is based on standard context-free formalisms (Roark, 2001 ), on generative syntactic theories based on a context-free backbone (Crocker, 1992) , or on categorial approaches, like e.g. Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG - (Steedman, 2000) ). A different method is to assign this responsibility to the competence component. In this case the space of possible configurations of partial structures is constrained by the grammatical derivation process itself, and the parsing algorithm needs to be aligned with these requirements. This approach is exemplified by the works of Kempson et al. (2000) and Phillips (2003) , who argue that many problems in theoretical syntax, like the definition of constituency, can be solved by extending this responsability to the competence grammar.",

The assignment of responsibility with respect to current approaches usually depends on the implementation of the incremental technique. Approaches based on a coupling of syntactic and semantic rules in the competence grammar (Steedman, 2000; Kempson et al., 2000) adhere to the so-called Strict Competence Hypothesis (Steedman, 2000) , which constrains the interpreter to deal only with grammatical constituents, so the responsibility for deciding the interpretable partial structures is assigned to competence 1 . In contrast, approaches that are based on competence grammars that do not include semantic rules, like CFG, implement semantic interpreters that mimic such semantic rules (Stabler, 1991) , and so they assign the responsibility for deciding the interpretable partial structures to performance.",

(Milward, 1994) ) in LTAG terms (Joshi and Schabes, 1997) . The consequence of encoding a dynamic grammar is that the configurations of partial structures discussed above are limited to fully connected structures, that is no disconnected structures are allowed in a configuration. In particular, the paper focuses on the problem of building a realistic DV-TAG grammar through a conversion from an LTAG, in order to maintain the 1 Notice that these approaches may, however, differ in the time-course with which semantic rules are applied in the interpreter, and this issue depends directly on the space of configurations of partial structures discussed above linguistic significance of elementary trees while extending them to allow the full connectivity.",

Dynamic grammars define well-formedness in terms of states and transitions between states. They allow a natural formulation of incremental processing, where each word w i defines a transition from State i\u22121 , also called the left context, to State i (Milward, 1994) . The states can be defined as partial syntactic or semantic structures that are \"updated\" as each word is recognized; roughly speaking, two adjacent states can be thought of as two parse trees before and after the attachment of a word, respectively. The derivation process proceeds from left to right by extending a fully connected left context to include the next input word.",

Lexicalization is expressed through the association of a lexical anchor with each elementary tree. The anchor defines the semantic content of the elementary tree: the whole elementary tree can be seen as an extended projection of the anchor (Frank, 2000) .

DV-TAG implements the incremental process by constraining the derivation process to be a series of steps in which an elementary tree is combined with the partial tree spanning the left fragment of the sentence. The result of a step is an updated partial structure. Specifically, at the processing step i, the elementary tree anchored by the i-th word in the sentence is combined with the partial structure spanning the words from 1 to i \u2212 1 positions; the result is a partial structure spanning the words from 1 to i. In contrast, LTAG does not pose any order constraint on the derivation process, and the combinatorial operations are defined over pairs of elementary trees. In DV-TAG the derivation process starts from an elementary tree anchored by the first word in the sentence and that does not require any attachment that would introduce lexical material on the left of the anchor (such as in the case that a Substitution node is on the left of the anchor).

In particular, some structures have to be predicted as soon as there is some evidence from arguments or modifiers on the left. In other approaches this extension is implemented via top-down predictions (see e.g. Roark (2001) ) during the parsing process. This can lead to a high number of combinations that raise the degree of local ambiguity in the derivation process.

The left association starts from the root of the elementary tree and combines it with another elementary tree on the right through through either inverse operation (see above) 2 ; this combination is iterated as far as possible through a transitive closure of left association (see below). All the combinations are stored in the extended lexicon.",

Left association can be performed during the parsing/derivation process (i.e. on-line) or with the goal to extend the lexicon (i.e. off-line). Since we are exploring the consequences of increasing the role of the competence grammar, we perform this operation off-line (see the next section). Each left association operation takes in input two trees: a left-anchored Base tree and a Raising tree, and produces in output a new leftanchored Raised tree. A Base tree \u03b1 can be any left-anchored elementary tree or a Raised tree. A Raising tree is any elementary tree \u03b2 that allows \u03b1 to combine on its left via either inverse substitution or adjunction. A Raised tree is a tree such that \u03b1 has been attached to \u03b2 according to inverse substitution or inverse adjunction.",

A tree template is a single elementary tree that represents the set of elementary trees sharing the same structure except for the lexical anchor: one single structure is referred to by pointers from the word list. All the equal tree structures that have the same leftmost anchor after are represented as a single template, where only the leftmost anchor is lexically realized; all the other anchors are replaced by variables with referring word lists that explicitly state the range of variation of the variables themselves. A variable replaces each occurrence of the lexical item in the original elementary structure: once a shift operation matches the current input word with one of the words in the associated list, we also have to unify the lexical head variables that augment non terminal symbols with the current input word. For instance, on the bottom of figure 5, there is the template obtained by the left association of the elementary tree anchored by John with all the equal elementary trees of transitive verbs.",

We estimated the maximum number of trees that need to be composed to create any one left associated tree. This was done by inspecting the derivation trees for each sentence of the treebank, and looking at the leftmost child of each level of the derivation tree. It was found that no left-associated tree needed to be composed of more than three elementary trees, in order to create a covering DV-TAG for the treebank. This replicates a previous result of Lombardo and Sturt (2002a) . Moreover, of the 800 mathematically possible root sequences 3 only 67 were present in the treebank. We decided to allow left association only for root sequences that actually appeared in the treebank. This resulted in a total of 706,866 left associated trees. Of these, 988 were base templates, 87,245 were raised twice, and 618,654 were raised three times.",
