Greetings!
you really need to left factor your rules.
also lex_entry and rule_entry are identical rules! ambiguous. even with
backtracking turned on how are we to know which to recognize. and
perhaps worse, we can not know that we have a type_def (as opposed to
lex_entry or rule_entry) until the very end when we see the '.' this
forces use to parse the entire input just to find the '.' and then
backtrack and reparse the entire input as a type_def.

i do not see any lexer rule to handle white-space. so you are probably
getting an error on the blank between then `s_n2` and `:=` tokens.
you do not include EOF in any of your rules, so when ANTLR encounters
the first character that is not properly parsed under your grammar
rules, it will simply stop the parse.

not used anywhere, delete this rule and lex_id.

add a lexer rule to ignore white-space characters:
WS : (' '|'\t'|'\n'|\'r')+ { $channel = HIDDEN; } ;
hope this helps...
