Parsing Greek Language with Link Grammar

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Link Grammar is a computational approach-method for syntactic parsing developed in 1991 at Carnegie Mellon University, initially for the English language. It is a Context-Free Grammar according to Chomsky’s classification. For a sentence to be syntactically parsed correctly by Link Grammar, links (connections) between adjacent words must have been declared and established, in terms of coding. Besides English, Link Grammar has been implemented in Arabic, German, Hebrew, Indonesian, Kazakh, Lithuanian, Persian, Russian, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese. In this paper, an initial attempt is presented to implement Link Grammar in the Greek language, by using the Link Grammar Parser. We aim to include most syntactic structures of Greek by providing numerous examples. By applying the same notation used in English grammar and adding some extra symbols, we can achieve syntactic parsing for a variety of sentences, as demonstrated herein.
