Gibberish: Prolog Government-binding parser.

areas/nlp/parsing/gb/
This directory contains Gibberish, a first attempt at a Government-Binding (GB) type parser. This parser is intended as an introductory 'toy' parser for natural-language-understanding courses, so complexity will be kept to a minimum while still being general enough to be easily extended. All constraints have been been implemented as explicit Prolog goals for perspicuity. Many optimizations are possible! The gapping mechanism actually performs a transformation of the sentence into a 'normal' form and so has been made general enough to move arbitrary structures through the parse tree.
