Constituency Parsing as an Instance of the M-monoid Parsing Problem

We consider the constituent parsing problem which states: given a final state normalized constituent tree automaton (CTA) and a string, compute the set of all constituent trees that are inductively recognized by the CTA and yield the string. We show that this problem is an instance of the M-monoid parsing problem. Moreover, we show that we can employ the generic M-monoid parsing algorithm to solve the constituency parsing problem for a meaningful class of CTA.
