Beyond LFG: the development of a large grammar of Polish

Adam Przepiorkowski

In this talk, I will describe the recent development of POLFIE, a large grammar of Polish following the Lexical Functional Grammar framework and implemented using the XLE platform. However, I will concentrate on those parts of the grammar development exercise which go beyond LFG, namely: 1) external morphology of Polish and 2) an external large valence dictionary of Polish with rich phraseological component as an input to the grammar, and 3) mapping the output of the grammar to various semantic representations, including John Sowa's conceptual graphs and underspecified MRS representations, as commonly used in HPSG.
