Experiments in parsing Polish — a progress report

We present two experiments in progress concerning parsing Polish sentences, whose common ultimate goal is a powerful and e cient parser of Polish, The experiments are based on a metamorphosis grammar of a large subset of Polish; two parsers are involved in the experiments. One of them is written in Prolog. The other is implemented in ATN; it was obtained from the metamorphosis grammar using a straightforward algorithm. The parsers are being tested on the same set of about 100 sentences and phrases, comprising also the examples parsed by other parsers of Polish. We hope to demonstrate that the metamorphosis grammar formalism is a convenient tool for syntactic description of Polish and other Slavonic languages; the best way to convert the grammar into an e cient parser is still an open question.
