Coping with Syntactic Ambiguity or How to Put the Block in the Box on the Table

ChurchKenneth, PatilRamesh · Am. J. Comput. Linguistics · 1982

Summary

This paper proposes some methods for dealing with syntactic ambiguity in ways that exploit certain regularities among alternative parse trees, and believes that such encoding of ambiguity will enhance processing, whether syntactic and semantic constraints are processed separately in sequence or interleaved together.
