SAX: Syntactic Analyzing Program

areas/nlp/parsing/sax/
SAX (Sequential Analyzer for syntaX and semantics) is a syntactic analyzer based on logic programming. SAX employs a bottom-up and breadth-first parsing algorithm. The SAX grammar rules are basically written in Definite Clause Grammar (DCG). The SAX grammar rules are translated into a parsing program written in Prolog.
