Abstract
Story understanding is one of the important branches of natural language understanding research in AI techniques. The story understanding approach based on Story Parsing Grammar (SPG) involves that SPG is used to represent different abstracting processes of stories with different levels in story understanding and that the story understanding process is converted to the recognition process of stories using the syntactic parser of SPG. This kind of story understanding is called story parsing. In this paper, firstly a subclass of SPG, called Weak Precedence SPG (WPSPG), is defined. Afterwards the syntactic parsing algorithm of WPSPG is studied. An example of story parsing is also given.
