Automatic F-Structure Annotation of Treebank Trees and CFGs extracted from Treebanks

We present two methods for automatically annotating treeba nk resources with functional structures. Both methods define systematic patt erns of correspondence between partial PS configurations and functional structure s. These are applied to PS rules extracted from treebanks, or directly to constra int set encodings of treebank PS trees.
