A national resource grammar
Jerry R. Hobbs · 1992
The syntax of English is largely a solved problem. Yet all natural language projects devote a large amount of their effort to developing grammars. The reason for this situation is that there is no very large, generally available grammar of English based on current technology---unification grammar. The solution is to develop a very broad-coverage National Resource Grammar in a unification formalism, perhaps under the auspices of the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and freely available to its members.
