A SYNTACTIC ANALYZER STUDY.

Abstract

The report documents work performed in the area of machine translation R and D. The aim of this work was twofold: (1) evaluation of formal and descriptive grammars from the viewpoint of their applicability to machine aided translation of natural languages, and (2) development of an operational grammar (syntactic recognition routine) for purposes of machine aided translation. The operational grammar is based partly on lessons derived from the aforementioned evaluation of grammatical theories. Results of the evaluation of grammar are reported in the body of the report and in a series of appendices. They have led to a confirmation and improvement of the 'fulcrum approach' to language data processing and machine translation. Operational grammar described in the report is a further development and improvement of the previous machine translation program based on 'fulcrum grammar. (AD-235 964, AD-256 355). (Author)
