註釋Formal linguistic theories of syntax in natural language have been widely influenced by government and binding (GB) theory and its development. There have been various proposals to implement versions of GB theory computationally by translating a GB grammar into a program in some programming language. This paper proposes an alternative approach, translating a GB grammar into a static discontinuity grammar (SDG). SDG is a logic grammar formalism that is well adapted to handle the kinds of rules, principles, and constraints found in the GB/Barriers family of grammatical theories. The paper introduces a single level of representation in which all constraints are applied. The SDG formalism possesses grammar rules that allow relationships between widely separated constituents to be stated in a single grammar rule. The resulting SDG can be processed by a parser to recover the thematic information and constituency structure associated with a natural language sentence.
