Book excerpt: For the past two years the Computational Linguistics Project in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University has been engaged in research leading to computer programs for accepting and manipulating transformational grammars corresponding to a version of the theory based on Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax. These programs have been combined into a computer system for transformational grammar which accepts a transformational grammar in a natural format, and carries out the complete generation of sentences, from phrase structure generation, through lexical insertion and transformation. These programs are the first to handle complete sentence generation. The project has made some interesting contributions to linguistic theory, particularly in the areas of formal definition of grammars, lexical insertion, and traffic rules for transformations. The results obtained are described in reports which have been issued during the course of the project. To summarize these results the abstracts of the more important papers are included here. The bibliography attached to this report contains a list of current reports produced by the project. (Author).

This book was released on 1968 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume describe computer runs with six different transformational grammars, in each case using the computer system for transformational grammar described in AD-665 827. They are collected as examples which, it is hoped, will encourage other linguists to use the system. The motivation for the first three projects described was primarily to test the system. The remaining papers describe experiments by linguists using the system as a tool in their own research. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper defines a class of transformational grammars and describes the operational characteristics of a program for the analysis of sentences with respect to an arbitrary member of this class of grammars. The program in question exists both in pure LISP form and in mixed LISP and IBM 7090 assembly language form. The latter is, of course, applicable only to the IBM 7090 computer, but the pure LISP program can be run on any computer with a LISP system. This program has been tested on the IBM 7044 and 7090 computers and the UNIVAC M-460 computer, and a special version has been provided for the MIT compatible time-sharing system. The paper contains the necessary information to enable a user to write his own transformational grammar and determine whether it assigns structural descriptions as intended. Computer program operating details and formats are included. These are illustrated by the analysis of several sentences with respect to a sample grammar. Typical operating performance is discussed, but a complete description of the analysis algorithm used by the program is not included. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive system for transformational grammar was designed and is being implemented on the IBM 360/67 computer. The system deals with the transformational model of syntax, along the lines of Chomsky's 'Aspects of the Theory of Syntax'. The major innovations include a full and formal description of the syntax of a transformational grammar, a directed random phrase structure generator, a lexical insertion algorithm, and a simple problem-oriented programming language in which the algorithm for application of transformations can be expressed. The paper presents the system as a whole, first discussing the philosophy underlying the development of the system, then outlining the system and discussing its more important special features. References are given to papers which consider particular aspects of the system in detail.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Chomsky laid the framework for a mathematically formal theory of syntax, two classes of formal models have held wide appeal. The finite state model offered simplicity. At the opposite extreme numerous very powerful models, most notable transformational grammar, offered generality. As soon as this mathematical framework was laid, devastating arguments were given by Chomsky and others indicating that the finite state model was woefully inadequate for the syntax of natural language. In response, the completely general transformational grammar model was advanced as a suitable vehicle for capturing the description of natural language syntax. While transformational grammar seems likely to be adequate to the task, many researchers have advanced the argument that it is "too adequate. " A now classic result of Peters and Ritchie shows that the model of transformational grammar given in Chomsky's Aspects [IJ is powerful indeed. So powerful as to allow it to describe any recursively enumerable set. In other words it can describe the syntax of any language that is describable by any algorithmic process whatsoever. This situation led many researchers to reasses the claim that natural languages are included in the class of transformational grammar languages. The conclu sion that many reached is that the claim is void of content, since, in their view, it says little more than that natural language syntax is doable algo rithmically and, in the framework of modern linguistics, psychology or neuroscience, that is axiomatic.

Book excerpt: The Transformational Grammar Tester (TGT) is a program system for on-line interactive use with a time-shared computer, a system especially designed to relieve the linguist of many mechanical operations and bookkeeping processes associated with building and validating transformational grammars. With TGT, the linguist can build files of rules and trees representing sentence structures, and can achieve rapid testing, execution and modification of his files. (Author).

This book was released on 1970 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of transformational grammars represents the linguists' most elaborate attempt to date to formalize the syntactic structure of English. The result of analyzing a sentence according to a transformational grammar is a so-called 'deep structure, ' which expresses various information about the constituent portions of the sentence in a treelike form. In view of the relatively high state of development of the transformational theory, it is natural to use it as the basis for the 'front end' of an English-understanding program. The system discussed in the report provides a general method of interpretation of transformationally parsed sentences for use in question-answering. It is based on a general scheme for using the information contained in the deep structures to interrogate a data base. The primary effort is aimed at handling a wide variety of complex syntactic structures, with particular concern for the problem of embedded structures. The system provides a general facility for handling syntactic sturctures, to which a user can add routines corresponding to the specific nouns, verbs, and adjectives he wants to use. The present implementation includes a vocabulary suitable for dealing with sets; the noun, verb, and adjective routines for this area of discourse constitute about 10% of the entire program.
