Random Sentences from a Generalized Phrase-Structure Grammar Interpreter
In numerous domains in cognitive science it is often useful to have a source
for randomly generated corpora. These corpora may serve as a foundation for
artificial stimuli in a learning experiment (e.g., Ellefson & Christiansen,
2000), or as input into computational models (e.g., Christiansen & Dale, 2001).
The following compact and general C program interprets a phrase-structure
grammar specified in a text file. It follows parameters set at a Unix or
Unix-based command-line and generates a corpus of random sentences from that
grammar.Comment: Brief paper with source code and example
