The Link Grammar Parser is a syntactic parser of English, Russian, Arabic and Persian (and other languages as well), based on Link Grammar, an original theory of syntax and morphology. Given a sentence, the system assigns to it a syntactic structure, which consists of a set of labelled links connecting pairs of words. The theory of Link Grammar parsing, and the original version of the parser was created in 1991 by Davy Temperley, John Lafferty and Daniel Sleator, at the time professors of linguistics and computer science at the Carnegie Mellon University. Although based on the original Carnegie-Mellon code base, the current Link Grammar package has dramatically evolved and is profoundly different from earlier versions.
