Abstract
In this paper I attempt to explore the relationship between Chinese Phrase Structure Grammar (CPSG) as a formalism for characterising the syntax of the Chinese language and its applications in computational linguistics (CL). CPSG is loosely based on HPSG (Head-driven Phrase Sructure Grammar, as presented in Pollard; Sag 1987) and GPSG (Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, as presented in Gazdar et al. 1985, GKPS below), with certain extensions to capture the peculiarities found in Chinese grammar, as well as an augmentation for discourse and pragmatic information in the environment of Situation Semantics (Qian 1990a,b; 1991a,b). The basic concept in CPSG is unification; in this sense, CPSG may be taken as one of what are generally called ‘unification-based grammars’.
