Hi Linas,

Roman already has built a parser (in Haskell) that maps Lojban
sentences into Atomese structures

I think I know how to use this to make a replacement for RelEx2Logic,
by using a parallel English-Lojban corpus, and then using the pattern
miner to find patterns from the set of pairs of the form

 (link parser output for English sentence S,
Lojban->Atomese parser output for Lojban cognate S' of English sentence S)

What Roman is now doing is assembling the parallel English-Lojban
corpus, from various existing fragmentary parallel English-Lojban
corpora...

One of these corpora is a Lojban dictionary with definitions that look like

> x1 utters verbally/says/phonates/speaks x2.

for each Lojban word.... So he is simply facing the small programming
task of translating these definitions into sets of English sentences,
i.e. in the above example

> Now I would like to extract individual sentences from this:
>
> x1 utters verbally x2
> x1 says x2
> x1 phonates x2
> x1 speaks x2

This could be done using a fairly simple script but he is wondering if
there's some elegant parsing framework that could be used to deal with
the forward-slashes between phrases... I guess ...
