Computational Linguistics without Linguistics? View from Prague

Abstract

We want to demonstrate on some selected linguistic issues that classical structural and functional linguistics even with its seemingly traditional approaches has something to offer to a formal description of language and its applications in natural language processing and to illustrate by a brief reference to Functional Generative Grammar (on the theoretical side of CL) and Prague Dependency Treebank (on the applicational side) a possible interaction between linguistics and CL.
