Laporte, Éric. 2013. Defining a verb taxonomy by a decision tree. Autour des verbes: Constructions et interprétations, Ogata, Kozué (dir.), pp. 87–108

How useful can be decision trees for the construction, update and use of taxonomies of verbs? They are supposed to make the definition of classes more accurate. They are still little used in practice: devising and handling them involves formal logic and Boolean reasoning, which do not belong to a… read more | Article

Laporte, Éric. 2004. Restructuration and the subject of adjectives. Lexique, Syntaxe et Lexique-Grammaire / Syntax, Lexis & Lexicon-Grammar: Papers in honour of Maurice Gross, Leclère, Christian, Éric Laporte, Mireille Piot and Max Silberztein (eds.), pp. 373–388

The distribution of the subject of adjectives in French is particularly difficult to represent in a lexicon-grammar, because of the numerous restructurations of the subject. In addition, the description of subject distribution is connected with the separation of senses and the description of the… read more | Article

Laporte, Éric. 2001. Reduction of lexical ambiguity. Ambiguity, Laporte, Éric (dir.), pp. 67–103

Summary We examine various issues faced during the elaboration of lexical disambiguators, e.g. issues related with linguistic analyses underlying disambiguators, and we exemplify these issues with grammatical constraints. We also examine computational problems and show how they are connected with… read more | Article

Laporte, Éric and Anne Monceaux. 1999. Elimination of lexical ambiguities by grammars. Analyse Lexicale et Syntaxique: Le système INTEX, Fairon, Cédrick (ed.), pp. 341–367

We present a new, intex-compatible formalism for the description of distributional constraints, ‘elag’ (Elimination of Lexical Ambiguities by Grammars). The constraints may be checked against text, and the lexical ambiguity of the text may thus be partly resolved. We describe and exemplify the main… read more | Article
