Abstract

Grammar parsing and transformation of the incoming sentence into a corresponding semantic model are the kernel modules in natural language interface engines. This paper presents an analysis of the candidate grammar representation forms. The proposed grammar formalism is a combination of regular grammar and dependency grammar extended with predicate oriented annotations. The paper presents an implemented natural language interface for controlling humanoid robots in the environment of Hungarian language and similar languages.
