Summary

Grammar design is a branch of knowledge representation.

NLP grammars must satisfy both linguistic and computational criteria.

Gramars define sets of strings and associate structures with them.

Tree diagrams are used to represent syntactic structure.

A lexicon associates words with their properties.

Syntactic categories are bundles of grammatical information.

Syntactic features can be used to define subcategories.

PATR combines CF-PSG rules with a powerful feature system.

Most constructions in most languages can be described by CF-PSGs.
