Subject:  An interactive syntax tutor on the World Wide Web
 
 
Dear linguists,
 
Chris Dalton and I have written an interactive syntax tutor, intended
to help first year linguistics students practice writing phrase
structure grammars. The application is written in Java and is run from
a WWW browser (apart from the browser, which must be java-supporting -
e.g. Netscape 2 - there is no need to install anything locally). The
URL for the application is:
 
    http://www.linguistics.bangor.ac.uk/java/lt/LingTutor.html
 
The application works as follows: you enter a sentence to analyse,
then label each word with a syntactic category and write a set of
phrase structure rules. When the selections have been made, the
program shows the parse tree(s) generated by the grammar or states
that no analysis can be found.
 
A tech report which describes the application is available through
anonymous ftp at ftp.bangor.ac.uk:pub/el/lingtutor.ps.{gz,Z} or
directly from the Linguistics WWW server.

Thanks to many many respondents, who gave me the correct citation to
Eric Hamp's paper "Occam's Razor and Explanation in Etymology."  The
correct citation, which I have verified, is
 
	Papers from the 8th Regional Meeting of the Chicago Linguistic
		Society 8 (1972), pp. 470-472.
 
Thanks again to all who responded.
