| Abstract | This study develops a GPSG parser shell capable of parsing
sentences in a natural language described in the formalism of
GPSG. A simple Thai GPSG is formulated and the parser is applied
to it.
The GPSG parser shell is designed to be able to use with
complete GPSG which is much more compact than phrase-structure
grammar, especially a GPSG of a language having very free-ordered
words. Based on the modularity concept, the GPSG parser shell is
divided into 3 parts: user interface, translator and the parser.
The user interface receives the GPSG components from the user
interactively. The translator takes the input components from the
user interface and translates them into internal representations.
Finally, the parser uses these internal representations to parse
sentences with the interaction with GPSG components. In this
manner, there is no intermediate grammar to be used in the
parsing process and the space is saved .
The formulated Thai GPSG consists of ID, LP and metarules.
Moreover, it makes use of features which are one of the
distinguished characteristic of GPSG. As a consequence, the Thai
grammar can be described in a simple and compact form. |
