Some examples have been shown below for the rules made for Hindi simple parser. Follow these example to make to rules for other languages. Rule 1: VGF vib=X NP vib=ne drel=k1 dep=X mult=1 cost=5 verb=vfn ((raama ne))_k1 khaanaa khaayaa. VGF is parent chunk. Its constraint is that its TAM can be anything as denoted by 'X'. NP is child chunk. Its constrain is that vibhakti (or case marker) should be 'ne'. The drel is k1. It is not dependent on the presence of any other dependency relation. Its multiplicity is one within the sentential clause. cost=5 means that among all rules, this rule has highest priority. Priority is given from 1 to 5. If cost=0, then there is no priority attached to the rule. verb=vfn, means that the child chunk attaches itself with the finite verb (VGF) in the sentential clause. Rule 2: VGF vib=tam__ko NP vib=ko drel=k1 dep=X mult=1 cost=5 verb=vfn ((raama ko))_k1 kaama karanaa padaa. Finite verb's TAM agrees with the chunk with 'ko' vibhakti. vib=tam__ko means that there is a list of tams called 'tam' which is the key and its value is 'ko'. nA_pada+yA ko nA_cAhe+yA_WA ko ........ Rule 3: VGF vib=X NP vib=0&&list=nom__pronoun drel=k1 dep=X mult=1 cost=4 verb=vfn ((mein))_k1 khaanaa khaa rahaa huun. All the pronouns in nominative (vib=0) should be k1. Note: If there are more than one constraints for a parent or child chunk then separate those constraints by '&&'. eg: vib=0&&list=nom__pronoun Rule 4: VGF vib=X NP vib=0 drel=k1 dep=X mult=1 cost=1 verb=vfn ((raama))_k1 khaanaa khaa rahaa hei. Rule 5: VG list=k2__trans NP vib=ko drel=k2 dep=k1 mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn ((raama))_k1 ((phala ko))_k2 khaa rahaa hei. VG means that the parent chunk can be VGF, VGNF, VGNN etc. but the verb closest to the child chunk will be the parent. That verb should be a transitive verb. Hence, the verb should be present in the list 'k2' which a list of transitive verbs. In the list each verb is a key and its value is 'trans'. Hence list=k2__trans in the parent constraints. dep=k1, means that k1 should be present in the sentence clause only then k2 will be identified. verb=vnfn means the child can attach itself to non finite or finite verb depending upon which verb is the closest to the child chunk. eg: raama phala ko khaate hue skuula gayaa. 'phala ko' attaches to 'khaate hue' which is a non-finite verb. Rule 6: VG vib=tam__p_1&&list=k2__trans NP vib=0 drel=k2 dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ke dvaaraa ((kaama))_k2 kiya gayaa. k2 is the chunk with '0' vibhakti when the TAM of the parent verb is passive. Here, yA_gayA is a passive TAM. It is present in the TAM list as key with value p_1. Also, the parent verb should be a transitive verb. Rule 7: VG vib=X NP vib=se|xvArA|kA_xvArA drel=k3 dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ((caakuu se))_k3 phala kaaTataa hei. Chunk with 'se' vibhakti is k3. This is the default rule for k3 relation. Rule 8: VG list=k4__ko NP vib=ko drel=k4 dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ne ((mohana ko))_k4 kitaaba dii. Chunk with 'ko' vibhakti with its parent verb involving a recipient/beneficiary is k4. The list of recipient/beneficiary verbs is stored in 'k4' as keys with values 'ko'. Rule 9: VG list=k4__se NP vib=se drel=k4 dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ne ((mohana se)) baata kahii. Chunk with 'se' vibhakti with its parent verb involving a recipient/beneficiary is k4. The list of recipient/beneficiary verbs is stored in list 'k4' as keys with values 'se'. Rule 10: VG vib=X NP|VGNF|VGNN|VGINF vib=kA_lie drel=rt dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama pustaka ((khariidane ke lie))_rt baazaara gayaa. Any NP or VGNF, VGNN chunk with 'ke lie' vibhakti is 'rt'. Note: Morph merges vibhaktis kA/ke/kI into kA. Hence ke_lie becomes kA_lie. Rule 11: VGF vib=X NP vib=kA_pAsa|kA_sAmane drel=k7p dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vfn raama ((pustakaalaya ke paas))_k7p khadaa hei. Multiplicity is greater than 1 because k7p can occur more than one time within a sentential clause. Rule 12: NP vib=X NP|JJP|VGNF|VGNN|VGINF vib=vAlA|vAlI drel=nmod dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ne ((neele ranga vaalii))_nmod shirt khariidii. raama ko ((khaane vaalii))_nmod cheezein bahuta pasanda hein. Rule 13: NP vib=X NP|JJP|VGNF|VGNN|VGINF vib=kA drel=r6 dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vnfn ((raama kaa))_r6 bhaai mohana ghara chalaa gayaa. Multiplicity is greater than 1 because r6 can occur more than one time within a sentential clause. Rule 14: VGF vib=X NP vib=kA_pahale drel=k7t dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vfn raama ((raviivaara ke pahale))_k7t hii ghara chalaa gaya. Multiplicity is greater than 1 because k7t can occur more than one time within a sentential clause. Rule 15: VG vib=X NP vib=sAWa|kA_sAWa drel=ras dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ((mohana ke saatha))_ras skuula gayaa. Rule 16: VGF vib=X NP|VGNF|VGNN|VGINF vib=para|meM drel=k7 dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vfn raama ((skuula main))_k7 padhataa hei. Multiplicity is greater than 1 because k7 can occur more than one time within a sentential clause. Rule 17: VGF vib=X NP list=place drel=k7p dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vfn raama ((upara))_k7p rahataa hei. A list of generic location nouns exists. Rule 18: VGF vib=X NP list=time drel=k7t dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vfn raama ((subaha))_k7t skuula jaataa hei. A list of generic temporal nouns exists. Rule 19: VG vib=X RBP vib=NULL|se drel=adv dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ((tezi se))_adv skuula gayaa. Adverbial chunk with 'se' or 'NULL' vibhakti is adv. Note: If '0' vibhakti is present instead of NULL, then make the change in the rule file accordingly. Rule 20: VG vib=X NP vib=ora|kA_waraPZa|kA_ora drel=rd dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ne ((ghara kii ora))_rd dekhaa. Rule 21: VG vib=X NP|VGNF|VGNN|VGINF vib=kA_kAraNa|kA_vajaha|kA_kArana_se|kA_vajaha_se drel=rh dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ((baarisha ke kaarana))_rh ghara se baahara nahi nikala paayaa. Rule 22: VG vib=X VGNF|VGINF vib=kara|wA_huA drel=vmod dep=X mult=>1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama phala ((khaata huaa))_vmod skuula chalaa gayaa. Non-finite verb chunk with 'kara' or 'wA_huA' TAM is vmod. Note: For noun chunks and ver chunks case markers and TAM are stored in 7th field of the feature structure. They are extracted by the API from the keyword 'vib'. The parser reads this keyword from the rule file in the parent and child constraints field. Hence, for seventh field give keyword in the rule file as 'vib'. Rule 23: VG list=k2__trans NP vib=0 drel=k2 dep=k1 mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama_k1 ((phala))_k2 khaa rahaa hei. Noun chunk with '0' vibhakti is k2. Also, for k2 to be identified, k1 should already be marked. Rule 24: VGF vib=tam__hE NP|JJP vib=0 drel=k1s dep=k1 mult=1 cost=0 verb=vfn raama ((doctor))_k1s hei. Noun chunk with '0' vibhakti is k1. The TAM of the parent verb should be hE. Also, for k1 to be identified, k1 should already be marked. Rule 25: VG vib=X NP vib=se&&list=place drel=k5 dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn raama ((yahaan se))_k5 chalaa gaya. All generic location nouns with 'se' vibhakti are k5. Rule 26: VG list=k5__se NP vib=se drel=k5 dep=X mult=1 cost=0 verb=vnfn pattaa ((peda se))_k5 giraa. The parent verb should belong to a list of motion verbs. 'giranaa' is a motion verb. It is present in the list 'k5' which is the list of motion verbs. The noun chunk should have 'se' vibhakti.
