E-parser: An implementation of a deterministic GB-related parsing system

This paper describes an implementation of a deterministic parsing system, described in Nordgård (1993). The syntax of heuristic rules and how the rules interact with the basic operations of the parser constitute the bulk of the article. The implementation is written in Medley Interlisp, and the system can be run on Sun or Xerox workstations.Torbjørn Nordgård is associate professor of computational linguistics in the Department of Linguistics and Phonetics, University of Bergen. His research interests include computational linguistics, theoretical linguistics, in particular formal syntax and semantics, and philosophy of science. He has published A GB-Related Parser for Norwegian(Bern: Peter Lang) and he is one of the authors of Generativ syntaks: Ei innføring via norsk(Oslo: Novus).
