         DEMO AVAILABLE

 A NEW SYNTACTIC PARSER FOR ENGLISH
 ----------------------------------

The parser can be tested at the URL
   http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~tapanain/dg/
which also contains further documentation.

Some properties of the system:
 - It parses unrestricted text
 - It provides morphological and surface-syntactic analyses
 - It is fast and accurate
 - There are both character-based and graphical output formats,
   though the latter is not available in the WWW yet.
The grammar
 - is verb-centered dependency grammar
 - has explicit head-modifier relations with some 30 functional
labels
