....(beginning with a capital letter and ending with a period) which and this sentence is an example contain text adjuncts delimited by dashes, brackets or commas which may not always stand in a syntactic relation with surrounding material. There has been very limited work on this issue Hindle (1983) describes a system which copes with related problems, such as false starts and restarts in transcribed spontaneous speech, whilst Jones (1994) describes a parser which makes limited use of punctuation to constrain syntactic interpretation. Nevertheless, an analysis of the 150K word balanced ....

....yield a robust domain independent parser. Yet analysis of the Susanne Corpus with a crude parser suggests that over 80 of sentences are structurally ambiguous. Several parsers yielding a single canonical parse have been 142 Chapter 3: Language Analysis and Understanding developed (Marcus, 1980; Hindle, 1983; de Marcken, 1990) These are often applied to a (partially) disambiguated sequence of lexical syntactic categories. Simplifying the input to the parser in this way circumvents many problems of lexical coverage suffered by systems which require rich sets of syntactic subcategories encoding for ....

....in order to gain speed, one may have to trade in some of the parser s accuracy. For example, we may have to settle for partial parsing that would recognize only selected grammatical structures (e.g. noun phrases; Ruge et al. 1991) or would avoid making difficult decisions (e.g. pp attachment; Hindle, 1983). Much of the overhead and inefficiency comes from the fact that the lexical and structural ambiguity of natural language input can only be dealt with using limited context information available to the parser. Partial parsing techniques have been used with a considerable success in processing ....

....an earlier state and pursues a different branch of a nondeterministic computation, repair consists in directly modifying erroneous structure without regard to the history of computation that produced the structure. Deterministic parsers, such as Marcus Parsifal [Marcus 1980] or Hindle s Fidditch [Hindle 1983], are generally very fast. For example, Fidditch can parse the megaword Brown corpus in five to six hours [Hindle, p.c. Unfortunately, they do not scale well. Fidditch is the only Marcus style parser I know of with a realistically large grammar. However, it represents a considerable investment ....

....piano. Furthermore, the criteria for distinguishing verb senses are at present so poorly understood that avoiding terms like homonymy, polysemy, and so forth could be viewed as appropriately cautious rather than inappropriately simplistic. 21 Finally, assuming 20 I am extremely grateful to Donald Hindle for making the AP data available to me, and to Annie Lederer for making available the verb object norms. Notice that all subcorpora except the last one contain naturally occurring data. 21 This may be a classic instance of the computer programmer s claim, It s not a bug, it s a feature ....

....The methodology for bracketing the corpus is completely parallel to that for tagging hand correction of the output of an errorful automatic process. Fidditch, a deterministic parser developed by Donald Hindle first at the University of Pennsylvania and subsequently at AT T Bell Labs ([Hindle 1983], Hindle 1989] is used to provide an initial parse of the material. Annotators then hand correct the parser s output using a mouse based interface implemented in GNU Emacs Lisp. Fidditch has three properties that make it ideally suited to serve as a preprocessor to hand correction: ffl ....
