Abstract

The ANLT grammar is a wide-coverage syntactic description of English expressed in a computationally-tractable unification based formalism. We describe the formalism and give a detailed account of the analyses adopted for different English syntactic constructions in the current version of the grammar. Appendices provide a complete listing of the grammar, sample lexical entries, and a corpus of parsable sentences. The grammar is fully compatible with the Grammar Development Environment (Technical Report 127) which provides an integrated software environment, supporting automated parsing, generation, and modification of grammars expressed in the formalism described here.
