  • Method and system for the representation of multiple analyses in dependency grammar and parser for generating such representation
    Patent number: 5060155
    Abstract: Method for unambiguously coding multiple parsing analyses of a natural language word sequence in dependency grammar in which dependencies are defined between pairs of words, each pair consisting of a superordinate word or governor and a thereto related word or dependent. For each word in the sequence a word index is determined, representing the rank of order of said word in the sequence. All possible dependents of each word are determined as well as the relation between the word and the dependents using a parsing algorithm in combination with a grammar and a dictionary in which all words of the language are stored together with their syntactic interpretation and an interpretation index, representing the rank order of the syntactic interpretation of the word in the dictionary in order to distinguish between multiple syntactic interpretations of said word.
