LFG/XLE Grammars for Chinese

Author: Chit Fung LAM (Lawrence)

This project contains grammar fragments developed in the Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) formalism. They are implemented in the Xerox Linguistic Environment (XLE) to computationally model syntactic analyses of linguistic phenomena in Mandarin Chinese. See https://ling.sprachwiss.uni-konstanz.de/pages/xle/ for more information about grammar engineering via XLE, including how to download and use XLE.

LFG/XLE Grammar for Chinese Aspect under Control and Inner Topicalisation

This directory contains a small LFG grammar developed via the Xerox Linguistic Environment (XLE) to computationally implement the theoretical analysis of two linguistic phenomena in Mandarin Chinese, namely Aspect under Control and Inner Topicalisation.

For reference to this grammar, please cite:
