| Summary: | We have constructed a web-based framework for collaborative
multilingual grammar and treebank development in which developers
are distributed around the world. It is important for developers of
the world-wide collaboration to i) grasp and share the big picture of the
grammar and treebank of each language and ii) understand commonalities
of languages. Our framework, the Lextype DB, describes lexical
types of the grammar and treebank. Lexical types can be seen as detailed
parts-of-speech and are the essence for the two important points
just mentioned. Information about a lexical type that the Lextype DB
provides includes its linguistic characteristics; examples of usage from
a treebank; the way it is implemented in a grammar; and correspondences
to major computational dictionaries. It consists of a database
management system and a web-based interface, and is constructed semiautomatically.
Currently, we have applied the Lextype DB to grammars
and treebanks of Japanese and English. |
