Abstract: A computer program product including a computer-readable storage medium that has program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions executable to cause the processor to perform operations including obtaining an input text at a text parser, identifying a first term in the input text, and accessing lexicon data to identify a first entry corresponding to the first term. The first entry includes non-core data that corresponds to domain-specific lexical information for the first term. The operations further include determining that the non-core data identifies a second term in the input text as a modifier of the first term. The operations also include generating a partially parsed and bracketed (PPB) version of the input text. The PPB version indicates that the second term modifies the first term in the input text. The operations further include generating a parsed version of the input text based on the PPB version of the input text.
