I agree that the incremental approach to parsing is the correct one, as opposed to the "whole sentence at once" approach taken in the link parser and most other parsers. However, this is really a quite separate issue from the choice of hierarchical phrase structure based grammar versus dependency grammar. For instance, Word Grammar is a dependency based approach that incorporates incremental parsing (but has not been turned into a viable computational system). -- Ben G ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=84321988-45541e
