Constituent tree
From OpenCog
The Link Grammar parser can generate a Penn tree-bank style phrase structure. For example:
(S (NP The commie) (VP was (ADJP red)) .)
The phrase structure as output by RelEx is identical to that output by the link grammar parser; RelEx does not modify it. RelEx does use the phrase structure in various ways, including the Hobbs algorithm anaphora resolution algorithm.
There are a number of different possible phrase types:
Description | Penn type | Example |
---|---|---|
adjective phrase | ADJP | |
adverb phrase | ADVP | |

noun phrase | NP | |
particle | PRT | (S (NP (NP The commie) , (SBAR (WHNP who) (S (VP was (ADJP red)))) ,) (VP faded (PRT away)) .) |
