BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-68-84 ENTRY:: December 20, 1995 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: A computer system for transformational grammar TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Friedman, Joyce DATE:: January 1968 PAGES:: 35 ABSTRACT:: A comprehensive system for transformational grammar has been designed and is being implemented on the IBM 360/67 computer. The system deals with the transformational model of syntax, along the lines of Chomsky's "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax." The major innovations include a full and formal description of the syntax of a transformational grammar, a directed random phrase structure generator, a lexical insertion algorithm, and a simple problem-oriented programming language in which the algorithm for application of transformations can be expressed. In this paper we present the system as a whole, first discussing the philosophy underlying the development of the system, then outlining the system and discussing its more important special features. References are given to papers which consider particular aspects of the system in detail. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19951220] END:: STAN//CS-TR-68-84
