Laporte, Éric 2013 Defining a verb taxonomy by a decision treeAutour des verbes: Constructions et interprétations, Ogata, Kozué (dir.), pp. 87–108 | Article
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
Laporte, Éric, Elisabete Ranchhod and Anastasia Yannacopoulou 2008 Syntactic variation of support verb constructions25th Lexis and Grammar Conference, Mirto, Ignazio Mauro (ed.), pp. 173–185 | Article
Laporte, Éric 2004 Restructuration and the subject of adjectivesLexique, 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 | Article
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
Laporte, Éric 2001 Reduction of lexical ambiguityAmbiguity, Laporte, Éric (dir.), pp. 67–103 | Article
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
Laporte, Éric and Anne Monceaux 1999 Elimination of lexical ambiguities by grammars: The ELAG systemAnalyse Lexicale et Syntaxique: Le système INTEX, Fairon, Cédrick (ed.), pp. 341–367 | Article
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
