A structured PC-PATR grammar editor and application to Bahasa Indonesia

<p>This thesis describes the development of a structured editor for grammar files for the PC-PATR syntactic parsing program and an analysis tool for its output called PC-PATR-EDITOR. It describes the difficulties with authoring plain text grammar files and reading the parser's output. The editor solves these problems by providing an editing environment where users do not have to remember the file's syntax, where users can only input content valid at the point of editing, and by processing the parser's output and displaying it in ways familiar to most linguists. The paper contains three case studies that illustrate PC-PATR-EDITOR's usefulness by implementing a grammar fragment for Bahasa Indonesia. It offers critiques and suggestions for future improvements for the editor and analysis tool.</p> <p>PC-PATR-EDITOR is available for public use: <a href="https://www.sil.org/resources/archives/94703">sil.org/resources/archives/94703</a></p>
