In applications such as translation and paraphrase, operations are carried out on grammars at the meta level. This paper shows how a meta-grammar, defining structure at the meta level, is useful in the case of such operations; in particular, how it solves problems in the current definition of Synchronous TAG (Shieber, 1994) caused by ignoring such structure in mapping between grammars, for applications such as translation. Moreover, essential properties of the formalism remain unchanged. | A Meta-Level Grammar Redefining Synchronous TAG for Translation and Paraphrase .

Once a grammar has been used to express structural relationships in many applications there are operations which act at a meta level on the structures expressed by the grammar for example lifting rules on a dependency grammar to achieve pseudo-projectivity Kahane et al 1998 and mapping between synchronised Tree Adjoining Grammars TAGs Shieber and Schabes 1990 Shieber 1994 as in machine translation or syntax-to-semantics transfer. At this meta level however the operations do not themselves exploit any structure. This paper explores how in the TAG case using a meta-level grammar to define meta-level structure resolves the flaws in the ability of Synchronous TAG S-TAG to be a representation for applications such as machine translation or paraphrase. This paper is set out as follows. It describes the expressivity problems of S-TAG as noted in Shieber 1994 and shows how these occur also in syntactic paraphrasing. It then demonstrates illustrated by the relative structural complexity which occurs at the meta level in syntactic paraphrase how a meta-level grammar resolves the representational
