Eye movements and spoken language comprehension: effects of visual context on syntactic ambiguity resolution. (2002, unknown): “More promising are theories in which grammatical knowledge incorporates contextual parameters, thus supporting processing systems that coordinate linguistic and nonlinguistic constraints as the input is processed (cf. Sag & Wasow, 1999).”
The Explicit Syntax of Implicit Arguments (2010, background): “In both LFG and HPSG, the lexical entry for a control verb (e.g., try) explicitly specifies that its subject and its complement’s subject are coindexed (Bresnan 2001:197, Sag, Wasow, and Brender 2003:373).”
An Open Source Grammar Development Environment and Broad-coverage English Grammar Using HPSG (2000, background): “Although efﬁciency is partly the responsibility of the developer of the platform on which the grammar is run, it is also partly the responsibility of the grammar developer, since even the most efﬁcient system can be made unacceptably slow.”
Indirect Speech Acts (2001, background): “…interact to determine truth conditions and for which we have developed or adapted various technical tools that turn out to be useful here: nonmonotonic or defeasible reasoning, semantic types and type shifting rules (Montague 1974, Sag and Wasow 1999, Pustejovsky 1995, Asher and Pustejovsky 2000).”
Tree-to-Sequence Attentional Neural Machine Translation (2016, methodology): “In Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) (Sag et al., 2003), a sentence is composed of multiple phrase units and represented as a binary tree as shown in Figure 1.”
Multiword Expressions: A Pain in the Neck for NLP (2002, methodology): “In this section we will introduce some analyses for MWEs using the constraintbased Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) formalism (Pollard and Sag 1994, Sag and Wasow 1999).”
