“…In the debate about the context-freeness of language, crossserial dependencies have played an important role (Huybregts 1976;Bresnan et al 1982;Shieber 1985). Consider the following example in Dutch: Ojeda (1988) gives an account using discontinuous constituents; cf. Figure 4.…”

Statistical parsers are effective but are typically limited to producing projective dependencies or constituents. On the other hand, linguistically rich parsers recognize non-local relations and analyze both form and function phenomena but rely on extensive manual grammar engineering. We combine advantages of the two by building a statistical parser that produces richer analyses. We investigate new techniques to implement treebank-based parsers that allow for discontinuous constituents. We present two systems. One system is based on a Linear Context-Free Rewriting System (lcfrs), while using a Probabilistic Discontinuous Tree-Substitution Grammar (pdtsg) to improve disambiguation performance. Another system encodes discontinuities in the labels of phrase-structure trees, allowing for efficient context-free grammar parsing. The two systems demonstrate that tree fragments as used in treesubstitution grammar improve disambiguation performance while capturing non-local relations on an as-needed basis. Additionally, we present results for models that produce function tags, resulting in a more linguistically adequate model of the data. We report substantial accuracy improvements in discontinuous parsing for German, English, and Dutch, including results on spoken Dutch. This article is a substantially revised and extended version of van Cranenburgh and Bod (2013). While finishing this article, we learned with great sadness of the passing of our co-author Remko Scha. We dedicate this article to his memory.

“…Die formale Grammatiktheorie hat sich an diesen Beispielen ziemlich abgearbeitet und daraufhin in viele Lager gespalten. Da gibt es die Idee des "Verbknödels" in GB, deren unzählige Variationen ich hier nicht aufzählen möchte, die Diskussion um den Kontrast zwischen Deutsch und Niederländisch einerseits und Züritüütsch andererseits im Rahmen von GPSG (Huybregts 1984;Shieber 1985;Ojeda 1988), und schließlich die trans-kontextfreien Grammatiken wie TAGs (Tree Adjoining Grammars, Joshi 1985) und MCFGs (Multiple Context Free Grammars, Kasami et al 1987) Strawson [1959].) Und das hängt eng mit dem Phema zusammen.…”
