Laboratory for the Computational Studies of Language


TUBITAK Project Synopsis

Project Description:

LcsL is also funded by a grant from Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), contract no EEEAG-90. The project personnel is Cem Bozsahin (PI) and Elvan Gocmen. The objectives of the project are to:

  • Design a uniform grammatical architecture based on Combinatory Categorial Grammars. In this architecture, morphology, syntax and semantics are treated in an integrated way, rather than separate modules performing isolated analyses in their own linguistic domains.
  • Test the architecture on the analysis of Turkish causatives. This includes handling the morphology, syntax and semantics of causatives, and mapping the semantic form to a conceptual representation.
TUBITAK support for the project ends by October 1995.
