Abstract
The grammar of a language tells people how smaller linguistic units combine to form larger ones. This chapter will introduce a grammatical knowledge base of Chinese words, which was developed for natural language processing, assisting the automatic analysis and generation of Chinese sentences. The overall design of the knowledge base, the classification of words, and the formal description of their grammatical functions will be outlined, and some semantic issues will be discussed. From a computational perspective, the knowledge base offers new insights into the long-running introspection and exploration of grammar issues in Chinese.
