PASSAGE Syntactic Representation
Résumé
We present the PASSAGE syntactic representation based on syntactic relations, ini- tially developed for French in the scope of national evaluation campaigns. After a brief presentation of the non-nested chunks and syntactic relations of PASSAGE, we reuse the comparison elements that Marneffe and Manning have selected to compare the Standford typed dependencies (SD) against the GR and PARC representations, and show that PAS- SAGE is for a large part compatible compatible with these representation, standing closer to GR than to SD. After a presentation of the collaborative software support for PASSAGE representation, we conclude on some essential characteristics that pivot representation for syntax should exhibit.
