Abstract
How to build a grammar that can accept as many as possible user inputs is one of the central issues in human-computer interaction. In this paper, we report about a corpus-based multilingual grammar, which has the aim to parse naturally occurring utterances that are used frequently by subjects in a domain-specific spoken dialogue system. The goal is achieved by the following approach: utterance classification, syntax analysis, and grammar formulation.
