Therefore, it is possible to define a variant of parsing schemata, where these structures can be defined as items and the strategies used for combining them can be expressed as inference rules.
in order to define such a formalism we have to tackle some issues specific to dependency parsers: • Traditional parsing schemata are used to define grammar-based parsers, in which the parsing process is guided by some set of rules which are used to license deduction steps: for example, an Earley Predictor step is tied to a particular grammar rule, and can only be executed if such a rule exists.
