Constraint-Based Grammar Formalisms: Parsing and Type Inference for Natural and Computer Languages

By Stuart M. Shieber

Book Overview

Constraint-based theories of grammar and grammar formalisms are an area of research in computational linguistics. Constraint-Based Grammar Formalisms provides a mathematical and computational basis for this important area. It introduces new applications to both natural and computer languages and brings together Stuart Shieber's many contributions that have been at the core of developments ranging from the discovery of improved explanations of linguistic phenomena such as binding and coordination to the detailed mathematical analysis of constraint-solving and parsing in a variety of grammar formalisms.
