Danish field grammar in type dprolog

Abstract

This paper describes a field grammar for Danish and its implementations in a Prolog version with predeclared types. In comparison to the ususal S -> NP VP schema, this kind of grammar, where the first rule is S -> CNF FF NF CF enhances analysis effeciency because the fields specify constituents and syntactic function at the same time. The field grammar tradition is outlinedand an overview of the major rules of the Prolog program, which implements the grammar, is given.
