1. Two basic approaches can be singled out in the

used alternatively with several of these grammar

automatic parsing of natural languages. These are

tables, provided the rule format is adhered to. The ad-

vantage of this approach is supposed to be greater

here called bipartite and tripartite, respectively. In the

simplicity and easier checkout and updating of the

bipartite approach, the parsing program consists of

grammar. This is because the algorithm need not be

two basic portions: a machine dictionary which con-

changed every time a correction is made in the gram-

tains grammar codes for each entry, and a recognition

mar: presumably any such correction will be a simple

algorithm based on a grammar of the source language;

revision of the grammar table.

the grammar is here in fact written into the algorithm.
