To whoever it may concern, I'm using bison to create an open source nlp tool and it's kind of useable already (see online demo at https://r0ller.github.io/alice). The bison source itself is generated from the grammar rules (which can at most be binary branching) that are stored in an sqlite db file along with all other specs of the language being modeled. The rules of course cover the grammar while the actions carry out semantic checks. The phonological and morphological analyses are covered by foma (https://fomafst.github.io) which also uses bison.
The biggest handicap of it currently is that it has no configure and makefiles so it's tied to the development platform (NetBSD) unless one modifies the build scripts which is fortunately not that tough as usually you just need to modify some paths like that of the includes and libraries. If anyone is interested, besides the online demo there's also an android one on the project page (which is available in the play store too). Check it out at: https://github.com/r0ller/alice/wiki#platform-and-use-case-examples As I mentioned the whole stuff is open source and free so please, don't take this as an ad. I just wanted to say thank you to all who develops/maintains bison by showing what you made possible.
