Edited by Christian Leclère, Éric Laporte, Mireille Piot and Max Silberztein
Maurice Gross, who died in December 2001, was a pioneer and leading thinker in the field of modern linguistics. Long before computers could facilitate large-scale, lexically-based language study, he and his team began building an exhaustive, empirically-based inventory of the "lexicon-grammar" of… read more[Lingvisticæ Investigationes Supplementa, 24] 2004. xxii, 659 pp.

2013 Defining a verb taxonomy by a decision tree Autour 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

2004 Restructuration and the subject of adjectives Lexique, 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
2001 Reduction of lexical ambiguity Ambiguity, 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
1999 Elimination of lexical ambiguities by grammars: The ELAG system Analyse 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
