Linguistic Processing
FCG constructions are a persistent specialization of Coupled Feature Structures, having the additional attributes of type, name, and weight. FCG offers the possibility to apply rules by type, which are distinguished by their name. Weights can be used to choose between competing rules. All constructions (or rules) can be applied in both parsing and production. In production, the left pole of a construction is matched with the corresponding Coupled Feature Structure Left Pole. In parsing, the other direction is chosen, and this time the right pole of a construction is matched with the corresponding Coupled Feature Structure Right Pole.

Famous quotes containing the word linguistic:
“It is merely a linguistic peculiarity, not a logical fact, that we say “that is red” instead of “that reddens,” either in the sense of growing, becoming, red, or in the sense of making something else red.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
