Parsing Expression Grammar and Packrat Parsing – A Review
Journal of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, 2020 Bryan Ford presented Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs) as an alternative to specify rules for programming language, along with a Packrat parser, based on an idea of memoization. The idea proposed by B. Ford guarantees parsing of grammar written using PEGs in linear time in spite of backtracking. The primary aim of the paper is to highlight the details

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates whether syntactic unification occurs during online L2 sentence comprehension using time‐frequency analysis. We measured the oscillatory power changes in native English speakers and L1‐Cantonese L2‐English speakers while they were reading well‐formed English sentences, syntactically intact nonsense sentences, and random ...

Alignment Elimination from Adams' Grammars [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Adams' extension of parsing expression grammars enables specifying indentation sensitivity using two non-standard grammar constructs --- indentation by a binary relation and alignment. This paper proposes a step-by-step transformation of well-formed Adams' grammars for elimination of the alignment construct from the grammar.

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Abundant research has indicated fluency features as meaningful predictors of second language proficiency. However, the extent to which different fluency dimensions and features can predict proficiency remains underexplored. This meta‐analysis employed a multilevel modeling approach to synthesize fluency–proficiency relationships from 71 ...

Structured Grammars are Effective [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Top-down parsing has received much attention recently. Parsing expression grammars (PEG) allows construction of linear time parsers using packrat algorithm. These techniques however suffer from problem of prefix hiding. We use alternative formalism of relativized regular expressions REGREG for which top-down backtracking parser runs in linear time ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract We employed structural priming to test whether targeted exposure to unambiguous form–meaning mappings led to learning of noncanonical word orders, specifically in object relative clauses, among 165 low‐to‐intermediate‐level L1 German L2 learners of English.

Taming Context-Sensitive Languages with Principled Stateful Parsing [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Historically, true context-sensitive parsing has seldom been applied to programming languages, due to its inherent complexity. However, many mainstream programming and markup languages (C, Haskell, Python, XML, and more) possess context-sensitive features.

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract This study explores how word frequency affects verb‐mediated prediction in L1 and L2 speakers, using a visual‐world eye‐tracking task. By manipulating frequency of nouns within subjects (higher; lower) and type of verbs used as predictive cues (semantically restrictive; neutral) in sentences (e.g., The {doctor/surgeon} {opened/moved} the box),

Pattern matching in compilers [PDF]
, 2012 In this thesis we develop tools for effective and flexible pattern matching. We introduce a new pattern matching system called amethyst. Amethyst is not only a generator of parsers of programming languages, but can also serve as an alternative to tools ...

Syntactic and phraseological complexity in Chinese as a second language adapted teaching materials
The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.Graphical abstract: Abstract The adjustment of syntactic and phraseological complexity is a key consideration in text adaptation. However, research on this topic in the context of Chinese as a second language (CSL) remains limited. Using 700 CSL reading texts graded following the newly issued Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International ...
