A long-standing goal of software engineering is to construct software that is easily modified and extended. Recent advances in software design techniques, such as aspect-oriented ...
Attribute grammars may be seen as a (rather specialised) lazy or demand-driven programming language. The "programs" in this language take text or parse trees as input an...
Parsing text to identify grammatical structure is a common task, especially in relation to programming languages and associated tools such as compilers. Parsers for context-free g...
For decades we have been using Chomsky's generative system of grammars, particularly context-free grammars (CFGs) and regular expressions (REs), to express the syntax of prog...
Definite Clause Grammars (DCGs) have proved valuable to computational linguists since they can be used to specify phrase structured grammars. It is well known how to encode DCGs i...
