"text": "Type-inheritance Combinatory Categorial Grammar (TCCG) is a type-inheritance, unification-based CCG of the English fragment in Sag and Wasow (1999) , implemented in the LKB (Copestake, 2002) , a grammar development platform for producing efficient grammars for deep parsing. Typically, work in CCG (Steedman, 1996 (Steedman, , 2000 has focused on theoretical issues such as constituency and a principled syntax/semantics interface, with less work spent on the organization of grammatical information (see Baldridge 2002) . Work in HPSG (Pollard and Sag, 1994; Ginzburg and Sag, 2000, inter alia) has instead focused on well-grounded structuring of grammatical information, most specifically in terms of type-inheritance hierarchies, although often at the cost of coverage and elegance (see Penn and Hoetmer 2003) . However, the respective foci of work in these frameworks are largely orthogonal, suggesting a great potential in combining them, as recent work by Villavicencio (2001) and Baldridge (2002) has demonstrated. Following directly on this work, I adopt the type hierarchies of HPSG wholesale into TCCG, exploring directly the theoretical advantages this hybrid approach yields, with direct comparison to previous CCG and HPSG work. A full description of TCCG is beyond the scope of this paper (see Beavers 2002) ; I sketch below just a few of its advantages. In 2 I discuss background information about encoding TCCG in the LKB, including how TCCG deals with the so-called \"spurious ambiguity\" problem of CCG. In 3 I compare the relevant features of HPSG and CCG and discuss previous work that has combined them. In 4 I discuss the advantages type hierarchies bring to CCG, using the structure of the lexicon as well as the structure of lexical mapping rules as case studies. In 5 I discuss the advantages of CCG's highly lexicalist nature over common HPSG analyses and how these are encoded in TCCG. In 6 I discuss one domain (modification) where TCCG shows potential to simplify common analyses in both HPSG and CCG grammars due to its hybrid nature.", |

"text": "Finally, I briefly discuss how TCCG deals with the so-called \"spurious ambiguity\" of CCG. The combinatory power of CCG allows for a potentially exponential number of parses for a given reading of a single string. 3 A considerable amount of work has focused on spurious ambiguity and its effects on efficiency (see Karttunen 1986 ; see Vijay-Shankar and Weir 1990 for proof of a polynominal-time parsing algorithm and Clark and Curran 2004b for statistical models of CCG parsing), however most of these solutions are parser based. Rather than making proprietary modifications to the LKB's parser, I instead adopt Eisner's (1996) An NF value fc marks a sign as being the output of B, bc as the output of ! B, ot as a lexical item or the output of application, and tr as the output of T. The subtypes are disjunctive, so that fc-ot-tr is either a lexeme or the output of B, application, or T. Each combinator constrains the NF features of its output and daughters to be of specific value. For example, to prefer right-branching B over left-branching B, B is constrained as in (5).", |

B, application, T, but not another B (marked fc), thus ruling out leftbranching B over right-branching B. Other combinators in (1) are constrained similarly. The cumulative effect results in only one \"canonical\" parse for each reading of a given string. For more discussion of the efficiency of this approach see Eisner (1996) and Clark and Curran (2004a) . For purposes of TCCG, however, eliminating spurious ambiguity facilitates exploration of TCCG's hybrid nature by making direct comparisons possible between types of grammatical encoding in TCCG and more standard HPSG/CCG approaches, which I turn to next.", |

"text": "In this section I briefly review some major differences between CCG and HPSG. Both theories share roots in the same strand of lexicalist syntax, wherein grammatical information is lexically encoded and combination is category driven. While the two theories differ considerably in several fundamental ways, there are two key differences relevant to this discussion. The first is how categories are constructed. In CCG the restricted set of simplex categories, the means by which complex categories are built, and the generality of the combinators collectively yield a principled system that conforms strongly to the lexicalist assumption that all combinatory information is encoded categorially. HPSG, however, allows a wide range of simplex categories and no restrictions on types of rules, allowing uneven divisions of combinatory information between categories and constructions. In principle a CCG style category/combinatory system is possible in HPSG (as TCCG demonstrates), but in practice large scale HPSGs tend to represent information heterogeneously, making certain cross-cutting generalizations difficult to state, largely a result of the directions HPSG has taken as a research program.", |

"text": "The second relevant difference between these theories is how categories are structured relative to one another. Traditionally, CCG offers no grammatical tools to statically relate categories. Instead, these relationships are left implicit even when linguistically relevant, only statable meta-theoretically. HPSG has from its inception employed multiple inheritance type hierarchies (e.g. as in (4)), where some of the grammatical information for a particular sign is inherited from its immediate supertype, which itself inherits grammatical information from which its supertype, and all types share inherited information with their sisters. The result is a richly structured set of relationships between linguistic units that reduces redundancy and can be exploited to state grammatical and typological generalizations.", |

"text": "As noted in 1, the respective advantages of these theories are compatible, and much previous work has exploited this fact. Use of unification (a core operation in HPSG) in CG dates at least as far back as Karttunen (1986 Karttunen ( , 1989 , Uszkoreit (1986) , and Zeevat (1988) . Work on incorporating inheritance hierarchies into CCG is relatively more recent. Most notably Villavicencio (2001) implements a hybrid CCG/HPSG grammar in the LKB for purposes of exploring a principles and parameters acquisition model, defining parameters in terms of underspecified type hierarchies that the learner makes more precise during the learning process. 5 Moving beyond acquisition, Baldridge (2002) argues more generally for a type-hierarchy approach to the structure of a CCG lexicon so as to reduce redundancy and capture broader typological generalizations, although he does not explicitly flesh out this proposal. 6 With TCCG I build directly on this previous work by applying Villavicenio's type inheritance techniques to the issues raised by Baldridge, addressing head on the advantages of a hybrid approach and comparing it to prior HPSG and CCG analyses. In the following sections I outline several case studies of this approach. 7", |

Second, these types provide a locus for cross-linguistic typological generalizations, an advantage that goes beyond parsimony. For example, the slash-marking 8 I use the following type abbreviations: s-lxm=lexeme rooted in S, n-lxm=lexeme rooted in N, verb-lxm=verb, tv=transitive verb, rcv=control verb, cptv=CP complement transitive verb, dtv=ditransitive verb, ptv=PP complement transitive verb, stv=strictly transitive verb, orc=object control verb, orv=object raising verb, ocv=object equi verb. constraint on verb-lxm in (9) defines English as an SV language. For a language like Irish this type could encode a general VS constraint (e.g. verb-lxm := S\u00a2 NP$). Thus the type hierarchy provides an explicit means for encoding broad typological parameters not directly statable in CCG (see Bender et al. 2002 for further discussion and Villavicencio 2001 on acquisition of word order parameters).", |

An illustrative example is the encoding of predicative XPs (Kim is happy/on time/the person who came). TCCG adopts the Pollard and Sag (1994) analysis that predicative (ad)nominals have the category (S\u00a1 NP) and thus are compatible with the selectional restrictions of be ((S\u00a1 NP)\u00a2 (S\u00a1 NP)).

Nonetheless, by adopting a CCG style syntax TCCG makes possible more direct comparisons of the coverage and heavily lexical nature of standard CCG analyses to common HPSG approaches.

The motivation for a phrasal pumping rule is to ensure (a) that modifiers may modify theN before the category is changed to NP and (b) that the added existential/generic quantifier outscopes all constituents of theN. For instance, to build the NP happy dogs from Cleveland in HPSG lexically would generate a lexical NP dogs incompatible with the constraints on modifiers like happy (which haveN MOD values) and further would prevent the added quantifier to outscope the modifiers. However, a phrasal approach misses the broader generalization that these constructions are lexically triggered (by particular noun classes/inflection) and again heterogeneously spreads out language particular grammatical information between the lexicon and phrasal rules. At least in terms of parsimony a lexical rule approach would be preferred as it localizes the operation to one component of the grammar. ", |

In most HPSG literature modifiers form a heterogeneous class: due to the unconstrained possibilities of category formation, the HEAD category and the synsem in MOD are not inherently related and thus do not necessarily allow for any further generalizations. In CCG, however, modifiers all have the general form X \u00a1 X$, where X is typically a basic category (Adjs are of category N\u00a2 N$, Ps are N\u00a1 N$, Advs are S \u00a1 S$ (ignoring VP-Advs)).

"text": "Here the category and morphosyntactic features of the first argument are shared with the result, with the rest of the arguments left underspecified, capturing the general nature of modifiers in TCCG. 10 The advantage to the type hierarchy here is that most of the relevant information about each kind of modifier is now only stated once. Subtypes of this type need only add relevant additional information, for instance the supertype of all adjectives, adj-lxm, inherits from both xp-mod-lxm (meaning it's a modifier) and nom-lxm (meaning it's rooted in N), adding only the constraint that slash in X \u00a1 X$ be forward: 18 Transitive and intransitive subtypes of adj-lxm further specialize the $, and similar structuring of information occurs for all other modifier types. Thus the commonalities and differences of a wide variety of modifiers are captured in terms of type hierarchies, potentially with typological advantages. In Romance languages such as Spanish, where adnominal modifiers are overwhelmingly post-head, the directionality constraint for adjectives in (18) could instead be stated as a default on a higher supertype of all adnominals (where the few exceptions lexically override the default). Again, these types of constraints are not possible in most HPSG or CCG implementations. CCG without type hierarchies lacks the language in which such generalizations can be stated. Instead modifiers only form a class meta-theoretically with shared information stated redundantly. On the other hand, most HPSG approaches typically do not offer a sufficiently constrained set of category types to state generalizations over modifiers. Generalizations over modifier classes must be stated heterogeneously as a combination of lexical marking and pre-and posthead adjunct constructions (or alternatively stated in terms of independent linear precedence rules (Kathol, 2000) ). Thus combining these approaches yields potential not easily realizable separately.", |
