CYK algorithm. In computer science, the Cocke–Younger–Kasami (CYK) algorithm (alternatively called CKY) is a parsing algorithm for context-free grammars, its name came from the inventors, John Cocke, Daniel Younger and Tadao Kasami. It employs bottom-up parsing and dynamic programming. The standard version of CYK operates only on context-free grammars given in Chomsky normal form (CNF). However any context-free grammar may be transformed to a CNF grammar expressing the same language (Sipser 1997). The importance of the CYK algorithm stems from its high efficiency in certain situations. Using Landau symbols, the worst case running time of CYK is , where n is the length of the parsed string and |G| is the size of the CNF grammar G.
Standard form[edit] The algorithm requires the context-free grammar to be rendered into Chomsky normal form (CNF), because it tests for possibilities to split the current sequence in half. And Algorithm[edit] As pseudocode[edit] The algorithm in pseudocode is as follows: of length . Accurate Unlexicalized Parsing. Extended PCFG Parsing. CKY parsing demo. Treebank.
Etymology[edit] Both syntactic and semantic structure are commonly represented compositionally as a tree structure, hence the name treebank (analogous to other repositories such as a seedbank or bloodbank). The term parsed corpus is often used interchangeably with the term treebank, with the emphasis on the primacy of sentences rather than trees. Construction[edit] Treebanks are often created on top of a corpus that has already been annotated with part-of-speech tags. In turn, treebanks are sometimes enhanced with semantic or other linguistic information. Treebanks can be created completely manually, where linguists annotate each sentence with syntactic structure, or semi-automatically, where a parser assigns some syntactic structure which linguists then check and, if necessary, correct. In practice, fully checking and completing the parsing of natural language corpora is a labour intensive project that can take teams of graduate linguists several years.

Sentence (linguistics) A sentence is a grammatical unit consisting of one or more words that are grammatically linked. A sentence can include words grouped meaningfully to express a statement, question, exclamation, request, command or suggestion.[1] A sentence can also be defined in orthographic terms alone, i.e., as anything which is contained between a capital letter and a full stop.[2] For instance, the opening of Charles Dickens' novel Bleak House begins with the following three sentences: London.
Michaelmas term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. Sentences are generally characterized in most languages by the presence of a finite verb, e.g. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". A simple complete sentence consists of a single clause. One traditional scheme for classifying English sentences is by clause structure, the number and types of clauses in the sentence with finite verbs. Sentences can also be classified based on their purpose:

Rigg, University of Toronto Few students nowadays, either in high school or anywhere else, receive formal training in English grammar; as a result, older grammatical terms used traditionally to describe languages have fallen out of use. Further, until a couple of generations ago, most students aiming at university learned Latin, if only at an elementary level, and it was particularly in Latin that they learned to use this terminology. Nowadays very few people learn Latin at all. [Note: PDE = "Present Day English" throughout this document] Unsegmented Document (suitable for printing) Grammarpedia. Part of speech. Controversies[edit] Linguists recognize that the above list of eight word classes is drastically simplified and artificial.[2] For example, "adverb" is to some extent a catch-all class that includes words with many different functions.
Some have even argued that the most basic of category distinctions, that of nouns and verbs, is unfounded,[3] or not applicable to certain languages.[4] English[edit] A diagram of English categories in accordance with modern linguistic studies English words have been traditionally classified into eight lexical categories, or parts of speech (and are still done so in most dictionaries): Noun any abstract or concrete entity; a person (police officer, Michael), place (coastline, London), thing (necktie, television), idea (happiness), or quality (bravery) Pronoun any substitute for a noun or noun phrase Adjective any qualifier of a noun Verb any action (walk), occurrence (happen), or state of being (be) Adverb Preposition any establisher of relation and syntactic context.
Pro-form. Pro-forms are divided into several categories, according to which part of speech they substitute: An interrogative pro-form is a pro-form that denotes the (unknown) item in question and may itself fall into any of the above categories. One of the most salient features of many modern Indo-European languages is that relative pro-forms and interrogative pro-forms, as well as demonstrative pro-forms in some languages, have identical forms. Consider the two different functions of who in "Who's the criminal who did this? " and "Adam is the criminal who did this". Most other language families do not have this ambiguity and neither do several ancient Indo-European languages.
For example, Latin distinguishes the relative pro-forms from the interrogative pro-forms, while Ancient Greek[2] and Sanskrit distinguish between all three: relative, interrogative and demonstrative pro-forms.
