Re: Spiritual advise on syntax

Edgard wrote, "any systematic way of describing syntax, besides
discussing it as traditional grammars do?"

Another approach is to use a type of software called a syntactic
parser. You give it rules of syntax, a lexicon file in which words are
tagged with their part of speech, and some sentences to study. It tells
you whether or not those sentences can be parsed with the rules you
gave it.
