AUTOMATIC LANGUAGE ANALYSIS

Abstract

The primary aim of the study is the development of fully automatic routines for the reduction of complex sentences to their constituent simple sentences without loss of information-content. The project has as its secondary aim the construction of an artificial regular language with a simple propositional structure, suitable for machine-storage and logical manipulation. All programs are tested on the IBM 650 computer. Work was directed specifically along three lines, (1) the development of recognition procedures, (2) the development of procedures for syntactic analysis, and (3) the preliminary investigation of possible structures for a suitable official language.
