Abstract. Deep unification-(constraint-)based grammars are usually hand-crafted. Scaling such grammars from fragments to unrestricted text is time-consuming and expensive. This problem can be exacerbated in multilingual broad-coverage grammar development scenarios. Cahill et al. (2002Cahill et al. ( , 2004 and O'Donovan et al. (2004) present an automatic f-structure annotation-based methodology to acquire broad-coverage, deep, Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) resources for English from the Penn-II Treebank. In this paper we show how this model can be adapted to a multilingual grammar development scenario to induce robust, wide-coverage, PCFG-based LFG approximations for German from the TIGER Treebank. We show how the architecture of LFG, in particular the distinction between c-structure and f-structure representations, facilitates multilingual, treebank-based unification grammar induction, allowing us to cross-linguistically reuse the lexical extraction and parsing modules from O' Donovan et al. (2004) and Cahill et al. (2004), respectively. We evaluate our grammars against the PARC 700 Dependency Bank , against dependency structures for 2000 held-out sentences from the TIGER Corpus as well as against a hand-crafted dependency gold standard for 100 TIGER trees. Currently, our resources achieve 81.79% f-score against the PARC 700, a 2.19% improvement over the best result reported for a hand-crafted grammar in Kaplan et al. (2004), 74.6% against the 2000 held-out TIGER dependency structures and 71.08% against the 100-sentence TIGER gold standard, with substantially improved coverage compared to hand-crafted resources. We have since applied our methodology to induce wide-coverage LFG resources for Chinese (Burke et al., 2004b) from the Penn Chinese Treebank (Xue et al., 2002) and for Spanish from the CAST3LB Treebank (Civit, 2003).
