6 Finite State Grammars 1 Infinite Set? No Problem! Some sentences (will) go on and on [and on]. Some sentences (will) go on [and on] +. S (D) N (Aux) V P [Conj P] + 6
7 Finite State Grammars 2 Some sentences and/or paragraphs (or pages...) (will) go on (and on (and on...)). S (D) N [Conj N] (Aux) V P [Conj P] + People (may) read newspapers (or books (or magazines...)) S (D) N [Conj N] (Aux) V ((D) N [Conj N] ) 7

11 Finite State Grammars 6 Generalizations should be hiearchically organized. A Noun Phrase can be subject of a sentence, or its object, or the object of a preposition. The grammar should tell us all the ways to realize a NP just once. Finite State Grammars fail to do this. 11
12 Structural Ambiguity: CFGs Why we need (at least) I saw the astronomer with a telescope. We enjoyed the movie with Cher. The room contained noisy children and animals. People with children who use drugs should be locked up. I forgot how good beer tastes.
13 Other Ambiguity: Lexical Ambiguity They could build a better pen. Their class was bothersome. I don t like their band. I want the best dresser in the world. That phone bothers me.
14 Other Ambiguity [a:(y)lbi (Country Western Lyric) I read it every day. Some student invited each professor. She likes Jones more than Sandy. Some student talked to every teacher. 14
15 Complex Ambiguity I saw that gas can explode. Visiting relatives can be boring. Flying planes can be dangerous. This animal has four legs and flies. I saw her duck. 15
16 Constituency: Constituent Structure I forgot [how [[good beer] tastes]]. I forgot [[how good] [beer tastes]]. I saw [that [gas [can explode]]]. I [saw [that [gas can]] explode]. 16
17 Tests for Constituency How do we know which elements get grouped together? That is, how do we know which elements are grouped together to form a constituent? There are various tests, none perfect... 17
