computational implementation using HPSG grammars

[K Vikram bt cse]

Hi,
	I am working on a parser for a subset of the English language the
output of which will be used for some other purpose.
	I am kind of new to HPSG and would like to know how exactly
computational parsing can be done using lexicons based on such grammars. I
came to know about the LKB and the ALE systems but isn't there a place
where I can find the methodology described. We do not need to deal with
very complicated sentential structures. In that case how many features of
a entry would be needed.
	Also it would be helpful if the reference is not advanced and
very theoritical.  I do not have a linguistic background to understand all
of the jargon though I am comfortable with computer jargon. A one with a
practical approach instead of a theoritical approach would be very
helpful.

I would be grateful to anybody who would help me in this.

Sincerely,
vikram
