Automatic acquisition of LFG resources for German - as good as it gets

Rehbein, Ines and van Genabith, Josef orcid logoORCID: 0000-0003-1322-7944 (2009) Automatic acquisition of LFG resources for German - as good as it gets. In: Lexical Functional Grammar 2009, 13-16 July 2009, Cambridge, UK.

Abstract
We present data-driven methods for the acquisition of LFG resources from two German treebanks. We discuss problems specific to semi-free word order languages as well as problems arising fromthe data structures determined by the design of the different treebanks. We compare two ways of encoding semi-free word order, as done in the two German treebanks, and argue that the design of the TiGer treebank is more adequate for the acquisition of LFG resources. Furthermore, we describe an architecture for LFG grammar acquisition for German, based on the two German treebanks, and compare our results with a hand-crafted German LFG grammar.
