Resumen

The syntactic parser ARTEMIS (Automatically Representing Text Meaning via an Interlingua-based System) is a prototype intended to process natural language within the environment of the Functional Grammar Knowledge Base (FunGramKB) (Periñán-Pascual & Arcas-Túnez, 2010). Different from other parsing devices, ARTEMIS is grounded on two functional linguistic models: Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) (Van Valin & La Polla, 1997; Van Valin, 2005) and the Lexical Constructional Model (LCM) (Ruiz de Mendoza & Mairal Usón, 2008). However, certain adjustments have to be made to both models in order to meet the requirements derived from the fact that ARTEMIS follows the paradigm of Unification Grammars, in such a way that to comply with this paradigm, the GDE (Grammar Development Environment) within ARTEMIS needs to integrate two types of constructs: a catalogue of Attribute-Value Matrixes (AVMs) to describe grammatical units, and a set of production rules (grammatical, lexical and constructional) to allow it to produce a feature based grammar. It is the aim of this paper to give an overview of the investigation carried out so far within ARTEMIS in relation to these two aspects. We will do so by revisiting the literature in relation to the adjustments made to the linguistic models, especially to the RRG, and by reviewing the efforts made to describe the units and design the rules necessary for the parsing of simple sentences in English. Our paper will conclude by pointing at prospective research needed for the completion of this project.

Biografía del autor/a

Ana Díaz Galán, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Dr. Ana Díaz Galán is a senior lecturer at the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) where she teaches syntax. She also received her PhD degree from this university in 2001. Her main research interests are discourse analysis, grammar, and lexical relations. Her latest research has focused on computational linguistics and, more specifically, on the processing of grammatical phenomena- as described by the functional theory Role and Reference Grammar- within the framework of the FunGramKB knowledge base. She has been a member of the following research projects funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science: “Construction of a Core Grammar Spanish-English database within the Lexical Constructional Model” (Project No. FFI2008-05035-C02-02)”, “Design of English and Spanish Lexical and Argument-Construction Templates. Applications in Information Retrieval Systems within Multilingual Environments” (Project No. FFI2011-29798-C02-02) and “Development of a virtual laboratory for natural language processing from a functional paradigm” (Project No. FFI2014-53788-C3-1-P). She is also a member of the research groups Neurocog, ReTeLe and Lexicom.

Mª del Carmen Fumero Pérez, Universidad de La Laguna

Dr. María del Carmen Fumero Pérez is a senior lecturer in the Philology Department at the University of La Laguna where she also received her Ph.D. degree in English Philology in 2001. Her earlier works, deriving from her doctoral dissertation, focused on pragmatics and academic discourse analysis. More recently, as a member of the Lexicom Research Project, her research has dealt with the interaction between lexis and grammar in functional and cognitive models. Within this line of research, she has participated in the research projects entitled “Construction of a Core Grammar Spanish-English database within the Lexical Constructional Model” (Project No. FFI2008-05035-C02-02)” and “Design of English and Spanish Lexical and Argument-Construction Templates. Applications in Information Retrieval Systems within Multilingual Environments” (Project No.FFI2011-29798-C02-02), both funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science. Her latest works, within the project “Development of a virtual laboratory for natural language processing from a functional paradigm” (Project No. FFI2014-53788-C3-1-P), are related to the field of Natural Language Processing, specifically to the development of NLP tools and their applications.
