Computers and the Humanities Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper describes an implementation of a deterministic parsing system, described in Nordgård (1993). The syntax of “heuristic rules” and how the rules interact with the basic operations of the parser constitute the bulk of the article. The implementation is written in Medley Interlisp, and the system can be run on Sun or Xerox workstations.
