Abstract/Summary
Developing a wide coverage grammar is an expensive and time-consuming process. Automatic induction methods use treebanks to produce F-structures which will then be used to induce the grammar. However, this method of automatic induction for creating a Filipino LFG grammar is not possible because currently, there are no existing treebanks for Filipino. Bootstrapping was used to solve the aforesaid problem. From existing parallel English-Filipino corpora, cross-lingual projection was used to project F-structure from English. Using state of the art and self-developed tools, equivalent Tagalog words from the parallel corpora were mapped into the projected F-structures to produce Tagalog F-structures. The final output of the research is a collection of Tagalog F-structures induced from English F-structure.
