<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <Paper uid="P06-1020"> <Title>Morphology-Syntax Interface for Turkish LFG &quot;</Title> <Section position="4" start_page="1" end_page="153" type="intro"> <SectionTitle> BJ BJ BJ BJ BH </SectionTitle> <Paragraph position="0"> Encoding derivations in the lexicon could be applicable for languages with relatively unproductive derivational phenomena, but it certainly is not possible to represent in the grammar lexicon, all derived forms as lexemes for an agglutinative language like Turkish. Thus one needs to incorporate such derivational processes in a principled way along with the computation of the effects on derivations on the representation of the semantic information.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> Lexical functional grammar (LFG) (Kaplan and Bresnan, 1982) is a theory representing the syntax in two parallel levels: Constituent structures (c-structures) have the form of context-free phrase structure trees. Functional structures (f-structures) are sets of pairs of attributes and values; attributes may be features, such as tense and gender, or functions, such as subject and object. C-structures define the syntactic representation and f-structures define more semantic representation. Therefore c-structures are more language specific whereas f-structures of the same phrase for different languages are expected to be similar to each other. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 reviews the related work both on Turkish, and on issues similar to those addressed in this paper. Section 3 motivates and presents IGs while Section 4 explains how they are employed in a LFG setting. Section 5 summarizes the architecture and the current status of the our system. Finally we give conclusions in Section 6.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
