التشجير الآلي للجملة العربية بين الكليات و المقاييس : بنك المشجرات العربي نموذجا

Abstract EN

The Arabic Treebank (ATB) is a computational analyzer of Arabic syntactic structures that describes the different constituents, provides categories for each non-terminal node, and identities null elements, co-reference, traces, etc.

It adopts the Generative Government and Binding Theory (1981) to construct an artificial computational system that simulates the natural linguistic one.

The Treebank was successful in this regard especially in achieving high levels of regularity and consistency.

But the syntactic analysis doesn't respect recursivity that distinguishes language from other communication systems.

It, also, violates the syntactic island constraints on movement advanced by the Generative Theory.

This is why I put its descriptive adequacy to the test.
