Tree-Adjoining Grammars Definition (Tree-Adjoining Grammar) A tree-adjoining grammar (TAG) is a 5-tuple G = (N, T , I , A, S) where: N is a finite set of non-terminal symbols. T is a finite set of terminal symbols, N ∩ T = ∅. I is a finite set of initial trees. A is a finite set of auxiliary trees. S ∈ N is a specific start symbol. The trees in I ∪ A are called elementary trees. A Tree-Substitution Grammar (TSG) is defined analogously as a 4-tuple G = (N, T , I , S), i.e. a TAG without auxiliary trees. 16 / 52

Initial Trees Definition (Initial Tree) An initial tree is characterized as follows: Example Internal nodes are only labeled by non-terminal symbols. Leaf nodes are labeled by terminals or non-terminals. If a leaf is labeled by a non-terminal, it is marked as substitution node (indicated by the symbol “↓”).

Definition (<strong>Tree</strong>-<strong>Adjoining</strong> Grammar)<br />

A tree-<strong>ad</strong>joining grammar (TAG) is a 5-tuple G = (N, T , I , A, S)<br />

where:<br />

N is a finite set of non-terminal symbols.<br />

T is a finite set of terminal symbols, N ∩ T = ∅.<br />

I is a finite set of initial trees.<br />

A is a finite set of auxiliary trees.<br />

S ∈ N is a specific start symbol.<br />

The trees in I ∪ A are called elementary trees.<br />

A <strong>Tree</strong>-Substitution Grammar (TSG) is defined analogously as a<br />

4-tuple G = (N, T , I , S), i.e. a TAG without auxiliary trees.<br />
