Korean Parsing Based on the Applicative Combinatory Categorial Grammar

The Applicative Combinatory Categorial Grammar (ACCG) is a new approach to Categorial Grammars by using exclusively the Combinatory Logic. This extended categorial grammar that was originally developed by J.-P. Descles and I. Biskri, allows us to tackle the problem of the Korean language parsing in which there exist many difficulties from a computational point of view. In this paper, we handle in particular some parsing problems in Korean such as the problem of case, the free word order phenomenon, the coordination structure and the long distance scrambling in the coordination structure. We will show throughout this work some new and robust solutions for the Korean parsing in the ACCG formalism by introducing combinators such as B, C*, Φ of Combinatory Logic developed by H.-B. Curry and R. Feys.
