From Dependency Structures to LFG Representations

Dag Haug

Abstract

In this paper, we present the conversion of the PROIEL dependency treebank into LFG representations and the algorithms that were used in converting dependency structures to f- and c-structures. The source corpus has a large amount of non-projective edges, and the conversion to c-structure goes beyond previous work in providing principled representations of non-projective structures.
