AMOS: A Natural Language Parser Implemented as a Deductive Database in LOLA

In this paper we present the set-oriented bottom-up parsing system AMOS which is a major application of the deductive database system LOLA. AMOS supports the morpho-syntactical analysis of old Hebrew and has now been operationally used by linguists for a couple of years. The system allows the declarative specification of Definite Clause Grammar rules. Due to the set-oriented bottom-up evaluation strategy of LOLA it is particularly well suited to the analysis of language ambiguities.
