Applying Attribute Grammars to Teach Linguistic Rules

2017

An attribute grammar is a very well known formalism to describe computer languages but it can also be successfully used to describe linguistic phenomena. Since natural languages can also be expressed in grammars it is natural to describe rules using the same formalism. Linguistic teachers of the University Complutense of Madrid started using attribute grammars but they lack a tool that helps them to specify linguistic rules in a friendly and natural way. Therefore we propose a domain specific language (NLSdsl) carefully designed for non-programmers that will be implemented on an AnTLR based system.

Toward an engineering discipline for grammarware

2005

Abstract Grammarware comprises grammars and all grammar-dependent software. The term grammar is meant here in the sense of all established grammar formalisms and grammar notations including context-free grammars, class dictionaries, and XML schemas as well as some forms of tree and graph grammars. The term grammar-dependent software refers to all software that involves grammar knowledge in an essential manner.

Platform for Full-Syntax Grammar Development Using Meta-grammar Constructs

Proceedings of the Paclic, 2006

Full parsing of natural language sentences is a complicated task that provides a transition from unstructured text into structural information suitable for all forms of information retrieval. Any kind of higher level language understanding and/or semantic processing must rely on the results of syntactic parsing. The quality of state-of-the-art syntactic parsers [1, 2] is still not completely satisfiable even for analytical languages like English. In case of free-word-order languages like Czech, the situation is even more complicated. At the Centre for Natural Language ...
