[Corpora-List] free parser for english

[Jason Baldridge]

Here are three Java parsers that may be of use:

Dan Bikel's: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~dbikel/software.html#stat-parser<http://www.cis.upenn.edu/%7Edbikel/software.html#stat-parser>
OpenNLP Parser: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opennlp/
MSTParser: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~strctlrn/MSTParser/MSTParser.html
<http://www.seas.upenn.edu/%7Estrctlrn/MSTParser/MSTParser.html>

You may need to train models for English (though I believe there is an
English parsing model available for the OpenNLP parser, which is based on
Ratnarparkhi's maxent parser). If you do need to train models, small amounts
of the Penn Treebank are available as part of the NLTK Toolkit, but for more
accurate models you'll need access to the full Penn Treebank.

You might also want to check out the C&C CCG parser, which comes with models
and outputs various types of dependency structures:

http://svn.ask.it.usyd.edu.au/trac/candc/wiki

You won't get any tree structures from this parser (it produces categorial
grammar derivations), but probably the dependency relations are all you need
anyway. It is also one of the fastest parsers on offer. (But note that free
usage is only for academic purposes.)
