Description : Carnegie Mellon University's link grammar parser for English
In Selator, D. and Temperly, D. "Parsing English with a Link Grammar"
(1991), the authors defined a new formal grammatical system called a
"link grammar". A sequence of words is in the language of a link
grammar if there is a way to draw "links" between words in such a way
that the local requirements of each word are satisfied, the links do
not cross, and the words form a connected graph. The authors encoded
English grammar into such a system, and wrote this program to parse
English using this grammar.
.
This package can be used for linguistic parsing for information
retrieval or extraction from natural language documents. Abiword also
uses it as a grammar checker.

I am not a DD, and I will need a sponsor to upload this package.
I am a graduate student in the Lingusitic Cognition Laboratory in the
Computer Science Department at Illinois Institute of Technology, and
as such this package is useful to me. If anyone who sees this is
interested in sponsoring my uploads, please email me.
