Reasoning with Descriptions of Trees (1992) [36 citations — 5 self]
Abstract:
In this paper we introduce a logic for describing trees which allows us to reason about both the parent and domination relationships. The use of domination has found a number of applications, such as in deterministic parsers based on Description the- ory (Marcus, Hindle & Fleck, 1983), in a com- pact organization of the basic structures of Tree- Adjoining Grammars (Vijay-Shanker & Schabes, 1992), and in a new characterization of the ad- joining operation that allows a clean integration of TAGs into the unification-based framework (VijayShankeL 1992) Our logic serves to formalize the reasoning on which these applications are based.
