@inproceedings{Ait:1997, abstract = {This paper describes a new finite-state shallow parser. It merges constructive and reductionist approaches within a highly modular architecture. Syntactic information is added at the sentence level in an incremental way, depending on the contextual information available at a given stage. This approach overcomes the inefficiency of previous fully reductionist constraint-based systems, while maintaining broad coverage and linguistic granularity. The implementation relies on a sequence of networks built with the replace operator. Given the high level of modularity, the core grammar is easily augmented with corpus-specific sub-grammars. The current system is implemented for French and is being expanded to new languages.}, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:35:39.000+0100}, address = {Washington}, author = {A{\"\i}t-Mokhtar, Salah and Chanod, Jean-Pierre}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2fceef20ad1ff90c4b63e51b3d20cd07e/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proc.
