HPSG Analysis of Japanese

A Japanese HPSG for deep analysis and generation in the Verbmobil system was developed. The focus point of the grammar is the processing of spontaneous Japanese dialogs. Therefore, the description of phenomena of spoken Japanese is central. We present some empirical evaluation of the grammar with Verbmobil corpora.
