Synopsis

Technologies such as the Internet have accentuated the need to improve access, manipulation and translation of written language. One of the main goals of researchers in the field of computational linguisitics is to create programs that put to use knowledge of human language in pursuit of technology that can overcome the many obstacles in the interaction between human and computer. A major problem to be tackled by human-interface researchers is finding automated techniques that parse the complexities of human grammar. The intricacy of human grammar poses problems of accuracy and efficiency. This volume investigates programs for automatics analysis and production of written human language. The author proposes various techniques which focus on solutions for practical problems in processing constraint-logic grammars, these solutions allow the grammar writer to abstract over details of grammar processing and in many cases enable more efficient processing.
