Parsers for historical languages

Caution

Outline

Parsing to identifiers

  • CitableParserBuilder.jl was motivated by study of historical languages
  • texts in historical languages are closed productions requiring a corpus-linguistic approach
  • in 2024, personal computers are adequate to handle complete pre-computed parsing output of all possible forms (in most implementations, the Cartesian product of stem * rule)
  • therefore CitableParserBuilder.jl implements an in-memory parsing system

Resolving identifiers

  • the Analysis type is concrete
  • its four identifiers can be used in relation to any model of lexeme, form, stem or rule.
