Abstract

The paper explores the issues of universal computational formalisms and reusable developer environment as applied to rule-based NLP. It suggests a portable grammar framework and modular NLP architecture that by combining certain modules can be reused for different unilingual and multilingual applications through a universal developer environment. The developer environment includes a lexicon shell with flexible settings to define, among others, tag descriptions, entry structures, depth of knowledge, and a number of compilers with universal rule-writing formalisms. The formalisms and compilers described have been successfully used (in different combinations and with different depth of analysis) in a number of unilingual and multilingual applications that involved English, Danish, French and Russian.

Notes

  1. 1.

    It might not always be the case as there are applications that skip phrase chunking and work directly on lexicon tags.
