AGFL (Affix Grammars over Finite Lattices) is a two-level grammar formalism and a parser generator for natural languages. It compiles grammars and lexicons for natural languages into an executable text parser, which can cope with ambiguity, and is used by several departments of linguistic science. Think "yacc" (or bison) without shift-reduce conflicts. Currently I'm writing my thesis about my extension of AGFL with a profiling / tracing facility. AGFL has been written in C, C++ and CDL3.
