Abstract

This paper describes basic ideas of a parser for HPSG style grammars without LP component. The parser works bottom-up using the left corner method and a chart for improving efficiency. Attention is paid to the format of grammar rules as required by the parser, to the possibilities of direct implementation of principles of the grammar as well as to solutions of problems connected with storing partly specified categories in the chart.
