Syntax formal grammar

Translation of chemical names into structures can in general be treated as a linguistic issue of a computerized syntactic and semantic analysis of systematic nomenclature as an artificial language. In order to achieve such an analysis, a formal grammar of lUPAC nomenclature must first be derived from the informal rules. This requires the creation of a dictionary of fragments, so-called morphemes, from which the names can be built, and the elucidation of appropriate syntax rules to govern...

The formal system has been used in work (see [16,18]) on the theoretical aspects of computational syntax-semantics interface, by covering major syntactic constructions of human language, in Generalized Constraint-Based Lexicalized Grammar (CBLG). Further work is ongoing in the following directions ... 

The job of the syntax analyzer is to read the stream of words produced by the scanner and decide whether or not that stream of words forms a sentence in the source language. To do this, the compiler needs a formal description of the source language, usually called a grammar. Informally, a grammar is just a collection of rales for deriving...
