Transition network grammars for natural language analysis

The use of augmented transition network grammars for the analysis of natural language sentences is described. Structure-building actions associated with the arcs of the grammar network allow for the reordering, restructuring, and copying of constituents necessary to produce deep-structure representations of the type normally obtained from a transformational analysis, and conditions on the arcs allow for a powerful selectivity which can rule out meaningless analyses and take advantage of semantic information to guide the parsing. The advantages of this model for natural language analysis are discussed in detail and illustrated by examples. An implementation of an experimental parsing system for transition network grammars is briefly described.

A COMPUTER APPROACH TOWARDS THE ANALYSIS OF CONTENT.

The computer analysis of natural language is in its infancy when compared with statistical analysis, because computers were built for numbers and operations on them. Here is a description of one attempt to deal with this problem.
