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.
