Abstract

We present a new cubic parsing algorithm for ambiguous pregroup grammars. It modifies the recognition algorithm of Savateev [10] for categorial grammars based on \(\textbf{L}^{\backslash}\). We show the correctness of the algorithm and give some examples. We compare our algorithm with the algorithm of Oehrle [8] for pregroup grammars and the algorithm of Savateev [10].
