Introduction

This is a natural language parser for French programmed by Richard Socher at the Université Montpellier 2. It can be used either as a command line program under any *nix system or inside a browser as a cgi. To test it go to The Parser, type in a French sentence or phrase and hit Enter. For further details read the Parser Documentation. If you have no idea what this a parser is, the Quick Help will give you a starting point.

If you want to work with the parser, understand how it works or just install it on your system for faster use you can also download it. Feel free to ask me, if you have any questions.

Help needed.

 As you can see, the syntactic rules are quite basic, if you have the skills to add a few rules, please contact me under . The rule format is really simple as you can see in the Parser Documentation:
(PH (-> eqN?) SN SV POINT)

But can be augmented by meta rules, such as the restriction that the noun and the verb have to have the same number. Another necessary improvement is the correct handling of prepositions, which is a little hacky right now.
