A Parser With Something for Everyone
Abstract
We present a syntactic parser. Paragram. which tries to accomrnodate three goals. First it will parse, in a natural way, ungrammatical sentences. Secondly, it aspires to 'capture the relevant generalizations'", as in transfornalional grammar, and thus its rules are in virtual one-to-one correspondence with typical transformational rules. Finally, it promises to be reasonably efficient, especially given certain limited parallel processing capabilities.
