Abstract

This report shows how a principle-based parser with a ``co-routine'''' design improves parsing for translation. The parser consists of a skeletal structure-building mechanism that operates in conjunction with a linguistically-based constraint module, passing control back and forth until a set of underspecified skeletal phrase-structures is converted into a fully instantiated parse tree. The modularity of the parsing design accommodates linguistic generalization, reduces the grammar size, allows extension to other languages, and is compatible with studies of human language processing.
