| The Georgian language is remarkably different from Indo-European languages and has many interesting and ? from the computational point of view ? challenging phenomena: high degree of agglutination, free word order, polypersonal verbal agreement, split ergativity, etc.
On the other hand, HPSG is a very powerful and highly lexicalized grammar formalism and one of the most popular formalisms nowadays. The goal of the thesis is to build a formal grammar for the core of Georgian in the formalism of HPSG. The research will involve a formal analysis of most lexical and morphological categories as typed featured structures, and of the following syntactic phenomena as principles of a formal grammar: a) Free constituent order b) Complementation (verbal) c) Adjunction (adverbials, attributes) d) Embedded clauses/predicates e) Ergative The formal grammar will be implemented in TRALE, a system for testing and exploiting constraint-based grammars using typed feature structures. The coverage and performance of the system will be evaluated against a test suite of relevant examples exhaustively illustrating the described phenomena. |
