Abstract

A proposal for recognizing coordinate structures using the 'reconnaissance-attack' model is presented. The approach concentrates on distinguishing predicate coordination from other types of coordination and suggests that low-level structural cues (such as the number of predicates, coordinators, and subordinators occurring in the input string) can be exploited at little cost during the early phase of the parse, with dramatic results. The method is tested on a text of 16,000 words.
