Development of a General-Purpose Categorial Grammar Treebank
This paper introduces ABC Treebank, a general-purpose categorial grammar (CG) treebank for Japanese. It is {}general-purpose{'} in the sense that it is not tailored to a specific variant of CG, but rather aims to offer a theory-neutral linguistic resource (as much as possible) which can be converted to different versions of CG (specifically, CCG and Type-Logical Grammar) relatively easily. In terms of linguistic analysis, it improves over the existing Japanese CG treebank (Japanese CCGBank) on the treatment of certain linguistic phenomena (passives, causatives, and control/raising predicates) for which the lexical specification of the syntactic information reflecting local dependencies turns out to be crucial. In this paper, we describe the underlying {}theory{'} dubbed ABC Grammar that is taken as a basis for our treebank, outline the general construction of the corpus, and report on some preliminary results applying the treebank in a semantic parsing system for generating logical representations of sentences.

Iterated Dependencies in a Breton treebank and implications for a Categorial Dependency Grammar
Categorial Dependency Grammars (CDG) are computational grammars for natural language processing, defining dependency structures. They can be viewed as a formal system, where types are attached to words, combining the cla…
Development of a Multilingual CCG Treebank via Universal Dependencies Conversion
This paper introduces an algorithm to convert Universal Dependencies (UD) treebanks to Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) treebanks. As CCG encodes almost all grammatical information into the lexicon, obtaining a high-…
CCGweb: a New Annotation Tool and a First Quadrilingual CCG Treebank
We present the first open-source graphical annotation tool for combinatory categorial grammar (CCG), and the first set of detailed guidelines for syntactic annotation with CCG, for four languages: English, German, Italia…

BinarizationLinguistic Analysis, Description, and Typological Exploration with Categorial Grammar (TheBench Guide)
TheBench is a tool to study monadic structures in natural language. It is for writing monadic grammars to explore analyses, compare diverse languages through their categories, and to train models of grammar from form-mea…
