Abstract

This paper presents a method and implementation of parsing German V2 word order by means of constraints that reside in lexical heads. It first describes the design of the underlying parsing engine: the head-corner chart parsing that incorporates a procedure that dynamically enforces word order constraints. While the parser could potentially generate all the permutations of terminal symbols, constraint checking is conducted locally in an efficient manner. The paper then shows how this parser can adequately cover a variety of V2 word order patterns with sets of lexically encoded constraints, including non-local preposing of an embedded argument or an adverbial.
