Abstract

We propose a method for the extraction of a Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) from a dependency treebank which has some representative examples annotated with phrase structures. We show that the resulting TAG along with corresponding dependency structure can be used to convert a dependency treebank to a TAG-based phrase structure treebank.
