Knowledge representation of grammatical constructs of Sanskrit Language and modular architecture of ParGram

摘要

Sanskrit can be called as a “language of consciousness”, may be because it opens the door to India's rich spiritual literature. Design of a Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG)-based generation system can be regarded as a framework for empirical studies that can be carried on the choice among the grammatical paraphrases (i.e. Syntactic Alternations), as a denouncement of the interacting soft constraints. For being efficient study o relevant variation, we are bound to extend the XLE generation architecture, so that it doesn't diverge from the standard f-structures, but from a more abstract level of (meaning) representation. This representation is obtained by the means of XFR term-rewrite rules. For carrying out profound study of the design of meaning representation we need to carry out this the study under the light of surface realization task. In particular, we regard the problem of obtaining a transfer grammar that reverses the meaning construction, taking into account the generation performance.
