Universality of Constraint-based Phrase Structure Grammars

1994年8月，首席调查员和一些调查员访问了斯坦福大学约一周，并与美国调查员进行了一系列讨论。日方介绍了他们以前基于约束形式主义的日语研究，美方介绍了他们的最新研究活动。Flickinger预计将在第二年参与我们的项目，他描述了Verbmobil项目，该项目试图与德国研究人员合作建立一个大型的实用英语语法。去年12月，我们邀请了三名美国研究人员到日本，并在京都举行了一个为期几天的闭门研讨会。1995年2月和3月，所有日本调查人员再次访问斯坦福大学，第一年我们在那里结束了研究，并讨论了第二年如何扩大研究范围。1995年7月至9月，大多数日本调查人员访问了斯坦福大学，并与美国调查人员进行了一系列讨论。双方对日语使役结构的处理方式明显不同，确实有很多共同点。对其他复合谓词的研究也与上述研究密切相关。一些与词汇相关的研究也有许多共同点。双方对否定的研究也是密切相关的。去年12月，美国调查人员全部访问了日本，我们在东京举办了一个半封闭的研讨会，为期几天。在这次研讨会上提交的论文后来被收集到会议记录中，并于1996年3月发表和分发。最后，一些日本调查人员在2、3月份再次访问了斯坦福大学，结束了过去两年的研究，并讨论了以其他形式继续研究的可能性。

1994In August, the head investigator and some of the investigators visited Stanford University for about a week and had a series of discussions with the U.S.investigators. The Japanese side presented their previous studies on Japanese based on constraint-based formalisms, while the American side presented their latest research activitiesDr. Flickinger, who was expected to participate in our project in the following year, described the Verbmobil project, which attempts to build a large working English grammar with the collaboration of German researchers.In December, we invited three American investigators to Japan and had a closed workshop in Kyoto for a few days. All the Japanese investigators visited Stanford University again in February and March in 1995, where we concluded the research in the first year and discussed how to extend the research in the second year.1995Most of the Japanese investigators visited Stanford University from July so September and had a series of discussion with the American investigators.The following facts were noted as either common aspects on both sides or significant in some way.1. The apparent different approaches to the Japanese causative construction on both sides indeed have much in common.2. The research on other complex predicates were also closely related to the above mentioned researches.3. Some researches related to lexicon also had many common aspects.4. Researches on negation on both sides were also closely related to one another.In December, all the American investigators visited Japan, and we had a semi-closed workshop in Tokyo for a few days. The papers presented in this workshop were later collected in proceedings, which were published and distributed in March, 1996.Finally, some of the Japanese investigators visited Stanford University again in February and March to conclude the past two years of research and discuss possible continuation of the research in other forms.
