From ebender at uw.edu Tue Jun 9 17:53:26 2015 From: ebender at uw.edu (Emily M. Bender) Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 08:53:26 -0700 Subject: [matrix] Free word order handling in logon for sanskrit In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Prateek, Perhaps a good place to start is the analysis of free word order provided by the Grammar Matrix customization system. If you visit the Grammar Matrix questionnaire here: http://www.delph-in.net/matrix/customize/matrix.cgi ... you can specify properties that you would like in a (starter) grammar, including free word order. The resulting grammar that you can download will still use lists to encode the argument requirements of each head, but will provide phrase structure rules which can combine those arguments with the head in any order. You can find some further information about this system on the Grammar Matrix project web page: http://www.delph-in.net/matrix/ in the MatrixDoc pages: http://moin.delph-in.net/MatrixDocTop as well as in the course web page for my grammar engineering course: http://courses.washington.edu/ling567/ Please feel free to send follow-up questions to the Matrix mailing list: matrix at delph-in.net, which you can subscribe to here: http://lists.delph-in.net/mailman/listinfo/matrix Emily On Tue, Jun 9, 2015 at 12:46 AM, Prateek Saxena wrote: > Mam, > > My name is Prateek Saxena.
