Goals
The basic goal of the Collaborative Research Center is to encourage
interaction between theoretical and computional linguistics. Its point of
departure is the idea that, on the one hand, computational linguistics and
its applications should be based on a theoretically sound analysis of
natural language; and that, on the other, the results of natural language
engineering can and should contribute to the development of theoretical
linguistics. Research accordingly aims at the successful integration of
structural descriptions of linguistic phenomena and algorithmic
realizations of linguistics processes in the development of
language-understanding and -generating systems. Altogether, the Research
Center consists of nine subprojects, four of which are located at the
IMS.
The areas that these subprojects focus on are theoretical syntax (GB, HPSG, LFG)
and semantics (DRT) and their application to automatic text analysis.
