Abstract

This paper introduces a new type of grammars, suitable for parsing of free-word-order (natural) languages. It shows CYK-like algorithms based on such grammars for parsing and introduces a natural restriction on it, to achieve an essential speed-up, and a more adequad parsing for natural languages.

The work on this paper is a part of the joint research project PECO 2824 “Language Technologies for Slavic Languages” supported by EC and of the project ”Automatic checking of grammatical errors in Czech” supported by a grant of the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic No.0475/94.
