<a name="Introduction"></a>

<a name="Introduction-1"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">1 Introduction</h2>
<p>The Name &ldquo;Malaga&rdquo; is used with two different meanings: on the one
hand, it is the name of a special purpose programming language, namely a
language to implement grammars for natural languages. On the other hand,
it is the name of a program package for development of Malaga Grammars
and testing them by analysing words and sentences. &ldquo;Malaga&rdquo; is an
acronym for &ldquo;<b>M</b>erely <b>a</b> <b>L</b>eft-<b>A</b>ssociative <b>G</b>rammar
<b>A</b>pplication&rdquo;.
</p>
<p>The program package &ldquo;Malaga&rdquo; has been developed by Bj&ouml;rn Beutel.
<a name="index-Beutel_002c-Bjorn"></a>
Gerald Sch&uuml;ller
<a name="index-Schuller_002c-Gerald"></a>
has implemented parts of the debugger, parts of the
Emacs Malaga mode, and the original Tree and Variable output via TCL/Tk.
</p>
<p>So far, morphology grammars for several natural languages have been
developed with Malaga, including the Albanian, Bulgarian, English,
Finnish, German, Italian, Korean and Spanish language.
</p>

<hr>
<a name="Formalism"></a>
<a name="Malaga_0027s-Grammar-Formalism"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">2 Malaga&rsquo;s Grammar Formalism</h2>
<a name="index-Formalism"></a>
<a name="index-LAG"></a>

<p>A formal grammar for a natural language can be used to check whether a
sentence or a word form is grammatically well-formed (a word form is a
special inflectional form of a word, so &ldquo;book&rdquo; and &ldquo;books&rdquo; are two
different word forms of the word &ldquo;book&rdquo;). Furthermore, a grammar can
describe the structure and meaning of a sentence or a word form by a
data structure that has been constructed during the analysis process.
</p>
<p>Malaga is using a formalism that is derived of the Left-Associative
Grammar (LAG), which has been developed by Roland Hausser. An LAG
analyses a sentence (or a word form) step by step: 
its parts are concatenated from the left to the right, hence the name
&ldquo;Left-Associative Grammar&rdquo;. A single LAG rule can only join two
parts to a bigger one: it concatenates the state part (which is the
beginning of the sentence or word form that has already been analysed)
and the link part (which is the next word form or the next
allomorph). In contrast to LAG, Malaga&rsquo;s formalism already reads in
the first part of a word form or of a sentence by applying a rule.
Take a look at the following sentence:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Shakespeare liked writing comedies.
</p></blockquote>

<p>The sentence is being analysed by five rule applications:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>&ldquo;&rdquo; + &ldquo;Shakespeare&rdquo; <br>
&ldquo;Shakespeare&rdquo; + &ldquo;liked&rdquo; <br>
&ldquo;Shakespeare liked&rdquo; + &ldquo;writing&rdquo; <br>
&ldquo;Shakespeare liked writing&rdquo; + &ldquo;comedies&rdquo; <br>
&ldquo;Shakespeare liked writing comedies&rdquo; + &ldquo;.&rdquo; <br>
</p></blockquote>

<p>To apply a rule it&rsquo;s not sufficient to know the spelling of a word or an
allomorph. A rule also requires morphological and syntactic information, such
as word class, gender, meaning of a suffix etc. This information, which is
associated with an element of an utterance, like a sentence, a word form or an
allomorph, is called its <em>feature structure</em>. The analysis of a sentence or
a word form returns such a feature structure as result.
</p>
<p>Now let us take a closer look at how a sentence is analysed.
</p>
<ol>
<li> Before we can start to analyse a sentence, the analysis automaton must be
in an <em>initial state</em>. The initial state includes:

<ul>
<li> a feature structure for that state, and
</li><li> the <em>combination rule</em> checking whether it is allowed to start with a
specific word form. This rule also builds the feature structure of the 
successor state (whose surface consists of the first word form).
</li></ul>

</li><li> The next word form that is going to be added is read and analysed
morphologically.  If there is no valid word form, the analysis process
aborts.

</li><li> The feature structure that morphology assigns to this word form is called the
link&rsquo;s feature structure. The feature structure of the input that has been
analysed syntactically so far is called the state&rsquo;s feature structure.

</li><li> The active combination rule checks whether it is allowed to combine the state&rsquo;s
surface (which may be empty if the rule is operating on the initial state) with
the link, i.e., the next word form. The combination rule takes the feature
structures of the state and of the link as parameters.  They can be compared by
logical tests, and finally the feature structure of the successor state (whose
surface includes the word form that has been read), is constructed by the rule.
The rule also specifies which <em>successor rule</em> is active in the successor
state. Execution then continues at step 2.

<p>Instead of specifying a successor rule, a rule can also <em>accept</em> the
analysed sentence. In that case, the feature structure of the successor state
will be used as the feature structure of the complete analysed sentence.
</p></li></ol>

<p>Morphological analysis operates analogously, except that a word form,
composed from allomorphs, is being analysed. The link (step
2) is found in the allomorph lexicon.
</p>
<p>This sketch is of course simplified. There can be ambiguities in an
analysis, induced by several causes:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The initial state may contain several rules to analyse the first word
form or allomorph.
</li><li> A rule may have multiple successor rules.
</li><li> In morphology, the continuation of the input may match several trie entries.
</li><li> In syntax analysis, the link may be assigned several feature structures
by morphology.
</li></ul>

<p>These ambiguities are coped with by dividing the analysis into several
subanalyses: if there are two lexicon entries for a word form, for example, the
analysis continues using the first entry (and its feature structure) as well as
the second one. You can compare this with a branching path. The analyses will
be continued independently of each other. So, one analysis path can accept the
input while the other fails. Each analysis path can divide repeatedly when
other ambiguities are met. If several analysis paths are continued until they
accept, the analysis process returns more than one result.
</p>

<a name="The-Programs"></a>
<a name="The-Malaga-Programs"></a>
<h2 class="chapter">3 The Malaga Programs</h2>

<p>The Malaga programs are all started in a similar manner: either you give
the name of a <em>project file</em> as argument (this is not possible if
you start <code>malrul</code> or <code>malsym</code>), or you give the name of the
files that are needed by the program (for <code>malmake</code> and
<code>malaga</code>, you have to give the project file as argument). The file
type is recognised by the file name ending.
</p>
<p>Assume you&rsquo;ve written a grammar that consists of a symbol file
<samp>english.sym</samp>, an allomorph rule file <samp>english.all</samp>, a lexicon
file <samp>english.lex</samp> and a morphology rule file <samp>english.mor</samp>,
and you have also written a project file <samp>english.pro</samp>. You first
have to create binary files from these files:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">malmake english.pro
</pre></div>

<p>The source files must be in the Unicode UTF-8 format, which is also used for
input and output by the Malaga programs.
</p>
<p>The binary files have the same name as their source counterparts, but have a
<samp>_l</samp> (for little endian processors like x86), a <samp>_b</samp>
(for big endian processors like HPPA) or a <samp>_c</samp> (for other architectures)
appended. Now you can start the program <code>malaga</code> by entering
the following command line: <code>malaga english.pro</code>.
</p>
<p>The names of the grammar files will be read from the project file.
</p>
<p>If you want to know about the command line arguments of a Malaga
program, you can get help by using the option &lsquo;<samp>-help</samp>&rsquo; or
&lsquo;<samp>-h</samp>&rsquo;, like <code>mallex -help</code>
<a name="index-help-_0028command-line-option_0029"></a>
</p>
<p>If you just want to know which version of a Malaga program you are using, you
can get the version number by using the option &lsquo;<samp>-version</samp>&rsquo; or 
&lsquo;<samp>-v</samp>&rsquo;, like <code>malrul -version</code>
<a name="index-version-_0028command-line-option_0029"></a>
</p>
<p>The program just emits a few lines with information about its version number
and about using and copying it.
</p>


<hr>
<a name="Projects"></a>
<a name="Projects-1"></a>
<h3 class="section">3.1 Projects</h3>
<a name="index-projects"></a>

<p>A couple of files, taken together, form a Malaga grammar:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>The <em>lexicon file</em> (<samp>.lex</samp>)</dt>
<dd><p>A lexicon of base forms.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The <em>prelex file</em> (<samp>.prelex</samp>, optional)</dt>
<dd><p>A precompiled lexicon in binary format.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The <em>allomorph rule file</em> (<samp>.all</samp>)</dt>
<dd><p>A file with rules which generate the allomorphs of the base forms.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The <em>morphology rule file</em> (<samp>.mor</samp>)</dt>
<dd><p>A file with rules which combine allomorphs to word forms.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The <em>symbol file</em> (<samp>.sym</samp>)</dt>
<dd><p>A file with the symbols that may be used in rules and feature structures.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The <em>syntax rule file</em> (<samp>.syn</samp>, optional)</dt>
<dd><p>A file with rules that combine word forms to sentences.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>The <em>extended symbol file</em> (<samp>.esym</samp>, optional)</dt>
<dd><p>A file with additional symbols that may only be used in a syntax rule file.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>You can group these files together to a <em>project</em>. To do this, you
have to write a project file, with a name ending in <samp>.pro</samp>, in
which you list the names of the several files, each one behind a keyword
(each file type in a line on its own). Imagine you have written a
grammar that consists of the files <samp>standard.sym</samp>,
<samp>webster.lex</samp>, <samp>english.all</samp>, <samp>english.mor</samp>, and
<samp>english.syn</samp>. The project file for this grammar will look like
this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sym: standard.sym
lex: webster.lex
all: english.all
mor: english.mor
syn: english.syn
</pre></div>

<p>In your source files, you can include further source files by using the 
<code>include</code> statement; so a binary file of your grammar may be dependent on
several source files. The program <code>malmake</code> uses the information in the
project file to check for dependencies between source files and binaries, so
the project file must contain the name of all source files for a specific
binary. Relative path names are always relative to the directory of
the project file.
</p>
<p>Assume, you&rsquo;ve got a lexicon file <samp>webster.lex</samp> that
looks like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">include &quot;suffixes.lex&quot;;
include &quot;verbs.lex&quot;;
include &quot;adjectives.lex&quot;;
include &quot;nouns.lex&quot;;
include &quot;particles.lex&quot;;
include &quot;abbreviations.lex&quot;;
include &quot;names.lex&quot;;
include &quot;numbers.lex&quot;;
</pre></div>

<p>In this case, you must write the names of all these files in the &lsquo;<samp>lex:</samp>&rsquo;
line of your project file behind the name of the real lexicon file:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">lex: webster.lex suffixes.lex verbs.lex adjectives.lex
lex: nouns.lex particles.lex abbreviations.lex names.lex numbers.lex
</pre></div>

<p>Since there is a number of files in this example, the &lsquo;<samp>lex:</samp>&rsquo; line has
been divided into two lines, each line starting with &lsquo;<samp>lex:</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>If you want to extend an existing project (for example, you might want to add a
syntax rule file to a morphology grammar), you can include the project file of
the morphology grammar in the project file of your syntax grammar by using a
line starting with &lsquo;<samp>include:</samp>&rsquo;:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">include: /projects/grammars/english/english.pro
syn: english-syntax.syn
</pre></div>

<p>The file entries in the project file of the morphology are treated as
if they would replace the &lsquo;<samp>include:</samp>&rsquo; line. Relative paths in the
included file are relative to the <em>included</em> directory, not the
<em>including</em> directory.
</p>
<p>The programs <code>malaga</code> and <code>mallex</code> can set options like
<code>hidden</code> or <code>robust</code> from the project file, so you do not need
to set these options each time you start <code>malaga</code>. Each line in the
project file that starts with &lsquo;<samp>malaga:</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>mallex:</samp>&rsquo;,
respectively, will be executed when <code>malaga</code> and <code>mallex</code>,
respectively, has been started, but you may only use the <code>set</code>
command, so you can only set options in the project file. Here is an
example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">  ...
malaga: set hidden +semantics
malaga: set robust-rule on
mallex: set hidden +semantics +syntax
  ...
</pre></div>

<p>When you start <code>malaga</code>, the commands <code>set hidden +semantics</code> and
<code>set robust-rule on</code> will be executed; when you start <code>mallex</code>, the
command <code>set hidden +semantics +syntax</code> will be executed.
</p>
<p>Options in project files that are read in by &lsquo;<samp>include:</samp>&rsquo; lines in other
project files will be executed as if they were in place of the 
&lsquo;<samp>include:</samp>&rsquo; line.
</p>
<p>Lines in project files that start with &lsquo;<samp>info:</samp>&rsquo; contain information
about the grammar. In <code>malaga</code>, you get this information if you use the
command <code>info</code>. Example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">info: =====================================
info: Deutsche Malaga Morphologie 3.0
info: written by Oliver Lorenz, 11.04.1997
info: =====================================
</pre></div>

<a name="index-Hangul"></a>
<p>The Korean writing system, Hangul, needs special treatment, because the
characters it uses are syllables that must be split up into individual letters
for morphological analysis. Such a conversion is built-in into malaga.
To activate this Hangul support, insert the following line into your
project file:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">split-hangul-syllables: yes
</pre></div>
<a name="index-split_002dhangul_002dsyllables"></a>

<p>If Hangul support has been switch on, you may also enter Hangul text
in a Latin transcription that is based on the Yale transcription.
Transcribed text must be contained in curly brackets, and each
syllable must start with a dot, for example &lsquo;<samp>{.cwess.ta}</samp>&rsquo;.
Malaga can also display Hangul text in Latin transcription if Hangul
support has been activated. This can be controlled by the option
<code>roman-hangul</code>.
</p>
<p>When Malaga splits Hangul syllables, you must be aware that string
operations work with Hangul letters, even if you have entered
syllables in you grammar source code:
</p><ul>
<li> In a pattern, a character class that contains a syllable will match
each single Hangul letter that is part of that syllable. Only use
single letters in character classes. If you want to select between
different syllables, use alternatives, separated by vertical bars. 
</li><li> In a pattern, when a postfix operator (&lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>?</samp>&rsquo;, or
&lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo;) follows a Hangul syllable, it will only operate on the last
letter of that syllable. If you want the operator to work on the whole
syllable, put the syllable in parentheses.
</li><li> The functions <code>substring</code> and <code>length</code> will count single
characters, not syllables.
</li></ul>

located in your home directory and is called <samp>.malagarc</samp>. In
Microsoft Windows (NT based) systems, it is located in your user
profile directory and is called <samp>malaga.ini</samp>. In Microsoft
Windows (DOS based) systems, it is located in the root directory of
your system drive and is also called <samp>malaga.ini</samp>. You can enter
<code>malaga</code> and <code>mallex</code> options in the same manner as you do
in the project file:
</p>
<div class="example">

<p>The settings in your personal profile override the settings in the
project file.
</p>
<p>You can set some attributes of the graphical user interface
<code>malshow</code>, like the position, the size, and the font size of each
window that is opened by <code>malshow</code>. The following attributes are
available:
</p><dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>*_geometry:</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-geometry"></a>
<a name="index-window-geometry"></a>
<p>Defines the size and/or position of a window. The &ldquo;*&rdquo; must be
replaced by the name of the window, which may be <code>allomorphs</code>,
<code>path</code>, <code>result</code>, <code>tree</code>, <code>variables</code>, or
<code>expressions</code>. The attribute must be followed by an expression
like &lsquo;<samp>628x480+640+512</samp>&rsquo;. The first two numbers (&lsquo;<samp>628x480</samp>&rsquo;)
define the width and the height of the window in pixels, the last two
numbers (&lsquo;<samp>+640+512</samp>&rsquo;) define the position of its upper left
corner.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>font:</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-font-family"></a>
<p>The attribute must be followed by the name of the font family to use.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>font_size:</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-font-size"></a>
<p>The attribute must be followed by an integer font size, given in

<dt><code>hanging_style:</code></dt>
<dd><p>The attribute must be followed by <code>yes</code> or <code>no</code>, which
determines whether horizontally adjacent complex values are aligned at
their top lines (<em>hanging style</em>) or at their bottom lines
(<em>non-hanging style</em>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>inline_path:</code></dt>
<dd><p>The attribute must be followed by <code>yes</code> or <code>no</code>, which
determines whether the components of a state or a link in a path will
be arranged horizontally or vertically. For small feature-structures,
e.g. in formal grammars, horizontal arrangement is better readable,
while full-blown natural language grammar paths look better in
vertical arrangement.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>show_tree:</code></dt>
<dd><p>A three-valued attribute that determines which states of a tree are
shown. Possible values are: <code>full</code>, <code>no_dead_ends</code> and

<h3 class="section">3.4 The Program <code>mallex</code></h3>
<a name="index-mallex-_0028program_0029"></a>

<p>By using <code>mallex</code>, you can make the allomorph rules process the entries of
a base form lexicon. 
</p>
<p>You can start <code>mallex</code> either with the name of a project file or with the
names of the needed grammar files:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">mallex english.pro
</pre></div>

<p>or
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">mallex english.sym english.all english.lex
</pre></div>

<p>If you are not using a project file, you must give
</p>
<ul>
<li> the name of the symbol file (<samp>.sym</samp>),
</li><li> the name of the allomorph rule file (<samp>.all</samp>), 
</li><li> the name of the lexicon file (<samp>.lex</samp>, in batch mode), and
</li><li> the name of the prelex file (<samp>.prelex</samp>, in batch mode, optional).
</li></ul>

<p>Normally, <code>mallex</code> runs interactively: it loads the symbol file and the
allomorph rule file. Then the <em>prompt</em> appears:

<p>You can now enter any <code>mallex</code> command. If you do not remember the command
names, you can use the command <code>help</code> to see an overview of the

</p>
<p>If you want to quit <code>mallex</code>, enter the command <code>quit</code>.
</p>
<p>If you have started <code>mallex</code> by using the option &lsquo;<samp>-binary</samp>&rsquo;
or &lsquo;<samp>-b</samp>&rsquo;, it creates the run time lexicon file from the base form
lexicon file and the optional prelex file. If the lexicons are very
big or the allomorph rules are very complex, this can take some
time. After creation, <code>mallex</code> exits.
</p>
<p>If you have started <code>mallex</code> by using the option &lsquo;<samp>-prelex</samp>&rsquo;
or &lsquo;<samp>-p</samp>&rsquo;, it creates a precompiled lexicon file from the source
lexicon file and the optional prelex file and exits.
</p>
<p>You can use the following command line options when you start

<h3 class="section">3.5 The Program <code>malmake</code></h3>
<a name="index-malmake-_0028program_0029"></a>

<p>The program <code>malmake</code> reads a project file, checks if all grammar
files needed do exist, and translates all grammar files that have not
yet been translated or whose source files have changed since they have
been translated. <code>malmake</code> itself calls the programs
<code>malsym</code>, <code>mallex</code> and <code>malrul</code> if needed. An example:
assume you have written a morphology grammar whose grammar files are
bundled in a project file <samp>english.pro</samp>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sym: rules/english.sym
all: rules/english.all
lex: rules/english.lex lex/adjectives.lex

lex: lex/nouns.lex lex/abbreviations.lex lex/numbers.lex
mor: rules/english.mor
mallex: set hidden +semantics +syntax
malaga: set hidden +semantics
</pre></div>

<p>When executing <code>malmake dmm.pro</code> for the first time, the symbol file,
the rule files and the lexicon file will be translated:
</p>
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>

</td></tr></table>

<p>If you want all files to be recompiled on all accounts, use the option
<samp>-new</samp> or <samp>-n</samp>.
</p>
<p>The translation of a big lexicon can take some minutes, since the allomorph
rules have to be executed for each lexicon entry.

<hr>
<a name="malrul"></a>
<a name="The-Program-malrul"></a>
<h3 class="section">3.6 The Program <code>malrul</code></h3>

<p>The program <code>malrul</code> translates Malaga rule files, i.e.&nbsp;files that
have the endings <samp>.all</samp>, <samp>.mor</samp> or <samp>.syn</samp>. The compiled
file gets the suffix <samp>_l</samp>, <samp>_b</samp>, or <samp>_c</samp>, depending on the 
endianness of your processor.  Give the following arguments if you are starting
<code>malrul</code>:
</p>
<ul>
<li> the name of the rule file that is to be translated, and
</li><li> the name of the associated symbol file 
(<samp>.sym</samp> or <samp>.esym</samp>).
</li></ul>

<p>The order of the arguments is arbitrary. Here is an example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">malrul english.mor english.sym

<hr>
<a name="malsym"></a>
<a name="The-Program-malsym"></a>
<h3 class="section">3.7 The Program <code>malsym</code></h3>

<p><code>malsym</code> can translate Malaga symbol files, i.e.&nbsp;files having the
ending <samp>.sym</samp> or <samp>.esym</samp>. The translated file gets the suffix
<samp>_l</samp>, <samp>_b</samp>, or <samp>_c</samp>, depending on the endianness of your
processor.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">malsym english.sym
</pre></div>

<p>If you are translating an extended symbol file with the ending
<samp>.esym</samp>, enter the name of the compiled symbol file after the command
line option <samp>-use</samp> or <samp>-u</samp>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">malsym english.esym -use english.sym
</pre></div>

<p>This argument is needed since extended symbol files are extensions of ordinary
symbol files.
</p>
<p>If you use the command line option &lsquo;<samp>-split-hangul-syllables</samp>&rsquo; when
starting <code>malsym</code>, the symbol file and all the Malaga files that
use it will split up Hangul syllables in individual letters
internally. This option is invoked by <code>malmake</code> if the project
file contains the line &lsquo;<samp>split-hangul-syllables: yes</samp>&rsquo;.

<a name="index-break-_0028command_0029"></a>
<a name="index-breakpoints"></a>

<p>If you want to stop the rules at a specific point, for example to take a look
at the variables, you can use the command <code>break</code> to set
<em>breakpoints</em>. A breakpoint is a point in the rule source text where rule
execution is interrupted, so you can enter commands in debug mode. Breakpoints
are only active in debug mode, this means you have started rule execution by a
debug command or you have continued rule execution by one of the
commands <code>step</code>, <code>next</code>, <code>walk</code>, or <code>continue</code>.
</p>
<p>Behind the command name, <code>break</code>, you can give one of the following
arguments:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>A line number.</dt>
<dd><p>A breakpoint is set at this line in the current source file. If there is
no statement starting at this line, the breakpoint will be set at the
nearest line where a statement starts. You can, for example, set a
breakpoint at line 245 in the current source file by entering the
command
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">break 245
</pre></div>

</dd>
<dt>A file name and a line number.</dt>
<dd><p>A breakpoint is set at this line in this file. If there is no statement
starting at this line, the breakpoint will be set at the nearest line
where a statement starts. An example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">break english.syn 59
</pre></div>

</dd>
<dt>A rule name.</dt>
<dd><p>A breakpoint is set at the first statement in this rule. An example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">break final_rule
</pre></div>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>If the rule name or the file name is ambiguous, you can insert an abbreviation
for the rule system you refer to. Put it in front of the rule name or the file
name. The following abbreviations are used:
</p>
<ul>
<li> &lsquo;<samp>all</samp>&rsquo; for allomorph rules,
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>mor</samp>&rsquo; for morphology rules,
</li><li> &lsquo;<samp>syn</samp>&rsquo; for syntax rules,
</li></ul>

<p>If you omit any argument, the breakpoint is set on the current line in the
current file (this is helpful in debug mode).
</p>
<p>Every breakpoint gets a unique number once it has been set, so you can delete
it later, when you do not need it any longer.
</p>
<p>You can list the breakpoints using the command <code>list</code> and delete
them using <code>delete</code>.

first statement of the first rule is executed:
</p>
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">mallex&gt; debug-ga [surface: &quot;john&quot;, class: name]
at rule &quot;irregular_verb&quot;
debug&gt; 
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table>

<p>The prompt &lsquo;<samp>debug&gt;</samp>&rsquo; that appears instead of &lsquo;<samp>mallex&gt;</samp>&rsquo; indicates
that <code>mallex</code> is currently executing the allomorph rules but has been
interrupted. Since this ability has been developed to support the 
<em>debugging</em> of Malaga rules, this mode is called <em>debug mode</em>.
</p>
<p>When <code>mallex</code> arrives at the start of a new rule in debug mode (as in the
example above), the name of this rule is displayed. When in debug mode, you can
always get the name of the current rule using the command <code>rule</code>.
</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re running <code>mallex</code> from Emacs, another Emacs window will display
the source file. An arrow is used to show to the statement that will be
executed next.
</p>
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">  ...
allo_rule irregular_verb ($entry):
=&gt;? $entry.class = verb;
  ...
</pre></div>
</td></tr></table>

<p>In debug mode, you can, for example, get the variables that are
currently defined (using <code>variable</code> or <code>print</code>), and you can
execute statements (using <code>step</code>, <code>next</code>, <code>walk</code>,
<code>continue</code>, or <code>run</code>). If you want to quit the debug mode,
just enter <code>run</code>. The remaining statements for generation will then
be executed without interruption.

<p>The command <code>ma-file</code> can be used to analyse files that contain
word lists. A word list consists of a number of word forms, each word
form on a line on its own. There may be empty lines in a word list. The
following example is a word list called <samp>word-list</samp>:
</p>
<div class="example">

<p>To analyse this word list, enter:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">ma-file word-list result

<p>This will produce a file <samp>result</samp> that contains the analysis
results. If the second argument is missing, the result will be written
to a file whose name ends in <samp>.out</samp>; for <samp>word-list</samp>, its name

3: &quot;blue&quot;: [class: name, ...]
4: &quot;handicap: unknown

<p>The number at the line start represents the line number of the analysed
original word form. The output format can be changed by using the options
<code>result-format</code> and <code>unknown-format</code>.
</p>
<p>If a runtime error occurs during the analysis of a word, the line will be
output in the format given by the option <code>error-format</code>.

<p>If you are executing the command <code>result</code> for the first time, or if
you have closed a <code>Results/Allomorphs</code> window that you&rsquo;d opened
before, a window will open, displaying the values of all
results/allomorphs of the last analysis/generation.

<h3 class="section">4.33 The Command <code>run</code></h3>
<a name="index-run-_0028command_0029"></a>

<p>This command can only be used in debug mode. The rule execution will be
resumed, and the rules will be executed completely without any interruption.
</p>
<p>If you have invoked debug mode by the command <code>debug-node</code>, rule
execution will be stopped again when another link is going to be analysed.

<h3 class="section">4.34 The Command <code>sa</code> (<code>malaga</code>)</h3>
<a name="index-sa-_0028malaga-command_0029"></a>

<p>If you have started <code>malaga</code> with a syntax file in your command line or in
the project file, you can start syntactic analyses using the command <code>sa</code>
(short for <em>syntactic analysis</em>). Put the sentence you want to be
analysed as argument behind the command name:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sa The man is in town.
</pre></div>

<p>Malaga will show the results automatically, and it will also show the analysis
tree automatically if you specified it using the <code>tree</code> option. You can
look at the results using <code>result</code> or at the entire analysis tree using
<code>tree</code>.
</p>
<p>If you do not enter a sentence behind the command <code>sa</code>, <code>malaga</code>
re-analyses the last input.
</p>

<h3 class="section">4.35 The Command <code>sa-file</code> (<code>malaga</code>)</h3>
<a name="index-sa_002dfile-_0028malaga-command_0029"></a>

<p>Using the command <code>sa-file</code>, you can analyse files that contain
sentence lists. In a sentence list, each sentence stands in a line on
its own; empty lines are permitted. Here is an example, a sentence list
named <samp>sentence-list</samp>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">He sleeps.
He slept.
He has slept.
He had slept.
</pre></div>

<p>To analyse this sentence list, enter:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sa-file sentence-list result
</pre></div>

<p>This will produce a file <samp>result</samp> that contains the analysis
results. If the second argument is missing, the result will be written
to a file whose name ends in <samp>.out</samp>; for <samp>sentence-list</samp>, its
name will be <samp>sentence-list.out</samp>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">1: &quot;He sleeps.&quot;: [functor: [syn: &lt;S3&gt;, sem: &lt;&quot;sleep&quot;&gt;]]
2: &quot;He slept.&quot;: [functor: [syn: &lt;S3&gt;, sem: &lt;&quot;sleep&quot;&gt;]]
3: &quot;He has slept.&quot;: [functor: [syn: &lt;S3&gt;, sem: &lt;&quot;have&quot;, &quot;sleep&quot;&gt;]]
4: &quot;He had slept.&quot;: [functor: [syn: &lt;S3&gt;, sem: &lt;&quot;have&quot;, &quot;sleep&quot;&gt;]]
</pre></div>

<p>The number at the line start represents the line number of the analysed
original sentence. The output format can be changed by using the options
<code>result-format</code> and <code>unknown-format</code>.
</p>
<p>If a runtime error occurs during the analysis of a sentence, the
line&rsquo;s output will be in the format given by the option
<code>error-format</code>.
</p>
<p>After the analysis, some statistics will be displayed:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The number of analysed sentences.
</li><li> The number of recognised sentences.
</li><li> The number of sentences recognised by combi-rules and end-rules.
</li><li> The number of sentences recognised by robust-rules.
</li><li> The number of sentences whose analyses produced errors.

of word forms. For example, enter:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">sg 3 . ? he she sleeps
</pre></div>

<p>All sentences that consist of up to three word forms, where only the specified
word forms (&ldquo;.&rdquo;, &ldquo;?&rdquo;, &ldquo;he&rdquo;, &ldquo;she&rdquo;, and &ldquo;sleeps&rdquo;) are used. The
sentences are numbered from 1 onward, but different analyses of the same
sentence get the same index. The output looks like this:
</p>
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">malaga&gt; sg 3 . ? he she sleeps
1: &quot;he sleeps .&quot;

<h3 class="section">4.41 The Command <code>tree</code> (<code>malaga</code>)</h3>
<a name="index-tree-_0028malaga-command_0029"></a>

<p>If you&rsquo;ve started a grammatical analysis using one of the commands <code>ma</code> or
<code>sa</code> (or their debug variants), you can make <code>malaga</code> display the
result by entering
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">tree
</pre></div>

<p>If the analysis has not yet finished (in debug mode or in case of an error), a
partial tree will be shown.
</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re executing the command <code>tree</code> for the first time, or if you&rsquo;ve
closed the <code>Tree</code> window before, a new tree window will open in which the
current analysis tree will be displayed.
</p>
<p>If there is already a <code>Tree</code> window open, the new analysis tree will be
displayed in this window.
</p>
<p>In the upper left corner of the <code>Tree</code> window, you will see the
sentence or the word form that has been analysed. Below, the analysis
tree is displayed. An analysis path always follows the edges from the
left to the right.
</p>
<p>A circle node stands for a LAG state, a two-circle node stands for an end
state. A crossed circle stands for a LAG state that has been removed by a
pruning-rule, and a crossed two-circle node stands for an end state that is
invalid because it has some remaining input still remaining. A box node
is not a state, but a <em>dead end</em>, which means that no rule has created a
state at this position.
</p>
<p>Above each edge, the link&rsquo;s surface of the corresponding rule application is
displayed. Below the edge, you&rsquo;ll see the name of the applied rule.
</p>
<p>You can click on a node using the left mouse button. Then another window will
open, namely the <code>Path</code> window. The <code>Path</code> window displays the
surface, the feature structure and the successor rules of the state you&rsquo;ve
clicked on. The node will be highlighted by a red border.
</p>
<p>If you press the right mouse button while the mouse is on a node, a
pop-up menu will appear. You can then either select that this node is
the first node of the path to be displayed, or you can select it to be
the last one. All rule applications, from the first node up to the
last node in the path, will be displayed in the <code>Path</code>
window. The corresponding path will be highlighted in the <code>Tree</code>
window.
</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re clicking on a link surface using any mouse button, the surface
and its feature structure will be displayed in the <code>Path</code> window.
</p>
<p>You can also click on rule names using any mouse button. Then the corresponding
rule application will be displayed in the <code>Path</code> window, i.e.&nbsp;the
surfaces and feature structures of the original state, the link, and the
successor state, and the successor rules.
</p>
<p>There are some commands that can be initiated from the <code>Tree</code> menu bar:

<a name="index-cache_002dsize-_0028malaga-option_0029"></a>

<p>Malaga has a cache for word forms. You can set the cache size, i.e. the maximum
number of words in the cache, to <var>n</var> with <code>set cache-size <var>n</var></code>.
If you set the cache size to 0, the cache will be deactivated.
</p>
<p>When malaga analyses a word form or sentence, it tries to get a word form from
the cache before it uses the morphology combination rules. Therefore, malaga
separates the first word form from the remaining input. It uses spacing
characters as separators; so if a word-form contains a space or does not end
with a space, caching will not work.

<a name="Characterisation"></a>
<a name="Characterisation-of-Malaga"></a>
<h3 class="section">6.1 Characterisation of Malaga</h3>

<p>A malaga rule file resembles much in programming languages like Pascal
or C (of course, those languages do not have a Left-Associative Grammar
formalism built in). A malaga source file must be translated before
execution, this is the same as for compiler languages. But the
generated Malaga code is not a machine code, but an <em>intermediate code</em>
and has to be executed (<em>interpreted</em>) by an analysis program.
Malaga may be characterised as follows, as far as programming structures and
data structures are concerned:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><em>structured values:</em></dt>
<dd><p>The basic values in Malaga are symbols (names that can be used e.g. for
categories or subcategories), numbers (floating point numbers), and
strings. Values can be combined to ordered lists or records (also known
as attribute-value matrixes). A value in a list or a record can be a list or a
record itself. An &ldquo;ambiguous&rdquo; symbol like <code>singular_plural</code> can
be assigned a list of symbols like <code>&lt;singular, plural&gt;</code>; such a
symbol is called a <em>multi-symbol</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>structured statements:</em></dt>
<dd><p>In Malaga, the concept of statement blocks is implemented in a similar
way as it is in the programming language Pascal. There are structured
control statements to select or repeat a statement sequence. A variable
is always defined <em>locally</em>, i.e.&nbsp;it only exists from the point
where it has been defined up to the end of the statement sequence in
which it has been defined.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>no type restrictions:</em></dt>
<dd><p>Any value can be assigned to a variable and the programmer can freely
define the structure of values.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>no side effects:</em></dt>
<dd><p>Malaga is, unlike programming languages like Pascal or C, free of side
effects. If a variable gets a value, no other variable will be
changed. Analysis paths are independent of each other.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>termination:</em></dt>
<dd><p>A Malaga grammar that contains no recursive subrules and no
<code>repeat</code> statements is guaranteed to terminate, i.e.&nbsp;it can never
hang in a loop.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>variables:</em></dt>
<dd><p>In a <code>define</code> statement, a variable is defined and gets an initial
value. Use an assignment to set a variable that has already been defined
to a new value.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><em>operators:</em></dt>
<dd><p>Many generative grammar theories or linguistical programming languages use the
concept of unification of feature structures. Malaga does not use unification,
but it offers some operators to build feature structures explicitly. Since
Malaga does without unification, analyses are much faster.  
</p></dd>
</dl>


<hr>
<a name="Source-Texts"></a>
<a name="Malaga-Source-Texts"></a>
<h3 class="section">6.2 Malaga Source Texts</h3>

<p>Source texts in Malaga must be in the Unicode UTF-8 format. They are
format-free; this means that between lexical symbols (strings,
identifiers, keywords, numerals and symbols such as &lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>~</samp>&rsquo;
or &lsquo;<samp>:=</samp>&rsquo;) there may be blanks or newlines (whitespaces) or
comments. Between two identifiers or two keywords there <em>must</em> be
at least one whitespace to separate them syntactically.
</p>


<hr>
<a name="Comments"></a>
<a name="Comments-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.2.1 Comments</h4>
<a name="index-comments"></a>

<p>A comment may be inserted everywhere where a whitespace may be inserted. A
comment begins with the symbol &lsquo;<samp>#</samp>&rsquo; and extends to the end of the line.
Comments are being ignored.
</p>

<hr>
<a name="Include"></a>
<a name="The-include-Statement"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.2.2 The <code>include</code> Statement</h4>
<a name="index-include-_0028statement_0029"></a>

<p>A Malaga file may contain the statement
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">include &quot;<var>filename</var>&quot;;
</pre></div>

<p>In a rule file, it can stand everywhere a rule can stand. In lexicon
files, it can stand in place of a value; in symbol files, it can replace
a symbol definition. The text of the included file is inserted verbatim
at the very location where the <code>include</code> statement occurs. The file
name has to be stated relatively to the directory of the file which
contains the <code>include</code> statement.
</p>

<hr>
<a name="Identifiers"></a>
<a name="Identifiers-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.2.3 Identifiers</h4>
<a name="index-identifiers"></a>

<p>In Malaga, names for variables, constants, symbols, and rules, and (see below
for explanation) are called <em>identifiers</em>. An identifier may consist of
uppercase and lowercase characters, the underscore &lsquo;<samp>_</samp>&rsquo;, the ampersand
&lsquo;<samp>&amp;</samp>&rsquo;, the vertical bar &lsquo;<samp>|</samp>&rsquo;, and, from the second character on,
also of digits. Uppercase and lowercase characters are not distinguished, i.e.,
Malaga is <em>not</em> case-sensitive. Malaga keywords must not be used as
identifiers. A variable name must start with a &lsquo;<samp>$</samp>&rsquo;, a constant name
must start with a &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo;. The same identifier may be used as variable
name, constant name, symbol name, or rule name independently. Malaga can
distinguish them by the context in which they occur.
</p>
<p>Valid identifiers would be &lsquo;<samp>Noun</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>noun</samp>&rsquo; (the same as the
first), &lsquo;<samp>R2D2</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>Vb_aux</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>A|G|D</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>_INF</samp>&rsquo;.
Identifiers like &lsquo;<samp>2Noun</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>Verb.Frame</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>OK?</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>_~INF</samp>&rsquo; are <em>not</em> valid.
</p>

<hr>
<a name="Values"></a>
<a name="Values-1"></a>
<h3 class="section">6.3 Values</h3>
<a name="index-values"></a>

<p>Malaga expressions can have values with very complex structures. To describe
how those values can be composed from simple values a few rules suffice. Simple
values in Malaga are <em>symbols</em>, <em>numbers</em>, and <em>strings</em>,
which can be composed to form <em>records</em> and <em>lists</em>.
</p>


<hr>
<a name="Symbols"></a>
<a name="Symbols-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.3.1 Symbols</h4>
<a name="index-symbols"></a>

<p>The central data type in Malaga is the symbol. It is used for describing
syntactic or semantic properties of an allomorph, a word, or a
sentence. A symbol is an identifier like &lsquo;<samp>Verb</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>reflexive</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>Sing_1</samp>&rsquo;. The symbols &lsquo;<samp>nil</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>yes</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>no</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>symbol</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>string</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>number</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>list</samp>&rsquo;, and
&lsquo;<samp>record</samp>&rsquo; are predefined and have special meanings.
</p>

<hr>
<a name="Numbers"></a>
<a name="Numbers-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.3.2 Numbers</h4>
<a name="index-numbers"></a>

<p>A number in Malaga consists of an integer part, an optional fractional
part and an optional exponent of the form &lsquo;<samp>E[+|-]n</samp>&rsquo;. There must be
a dot between the integer part and the fractional part. Examples:
&lsquo;<samp>0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>1</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>1.0</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>13.75</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>1.2E-5</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
<p>Alternatively, a number may consist of an integer number followed by
&lsquo;<samp>L</samp>&rsquo;, indicating that the number is intended as a list index
counting from the <em>left</em> border), or by &lsquo;<samp>R</samp>&rsquo;, indicating that
the number is intended as a list index counting from the <em>right</em>
border. Examples: <code>5L</code> = <code>5</code>, <code>12R</code> = <code>-12</code>.
</p>

<hr>
<a name="Strings"></a>
<a name="Strings-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.3.3 Strings</h4>
<a name="index-strings"></a>

<p>A string may consist of any number of characters (it may also be empty). It
must be enclosed in double quotes and must not extend over more than one line.
Within the double quotes there may be any combination of printable characters
except the backslash &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; and the double quotes. When part of a
string, these characters must be preceded by a &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; (escape character). 
<a name="index-escape-character-_0028_005c_0029"></a>
Examples: <code>&quot;Hello&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;He says: \&quot;Great\&quot;&quot;</code>.
</p>

<hr>
<a name="Lists"></a>
<a name="Lists-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.3.4 Lists</h4>
<a name="index-lists"></a>

<p>A list is an ordered sequence of values. The values are separated by commas and
enclosed in angle brackets:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">&lt;<var>element1</var>, <var>element2</var>, ...&gt;
</pre></div>

<p>A list may as well be empty. The elements in a list may be arbitrarily complex;
they may also be lists or records.

<a name="index-records"></a>
<a name="index-attributes"></a>

<p>A record is a collection of attributes. An <em>attribute</em> consists of a
symbol, the <em>attribute name</em>, and an associated <em>attribute value</em>,
which can be an arbitrary Malaga value. The attribute name serves as an access
key for the attribute value, so all attributes in a record must have distinct
names. 
</p>
<p>Records are noted down as follows:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">[<var>name1</var>: <var>value1</var>, <var>name2</var>: <var>value2</var>, ...]
</pre></div>

<p>where <var>name i</var> denotes an attribute name and <var>value i</var> the associated
attribute value. Example: <code>[Class: Verb, Reg: Reg, Val: dirObj]</code>.
</p>
<p>A record with no attributes, <code>[]</code>, is called <em>empty record</em>.

<h3 class="section">6.4 Expressions</h3>
<a name="index-expressions"></a>

<p>An expression is the form in which a value is used in Malaga. Values can be
written as follows:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">[Surf: &quot;he&quot;, Class: Pron, Case&amp;Number: S3]
</pre></div>

<p>Variables (these are placeholders for values within a rule) can as well be used
as expressions:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$Pron
</pre></div>

<p>Furthermore, constants (placeholders for values in a rule file) can be used as
expressions:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@combination_table
</pre></div>

<p>All three forms can be mixed:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">[Surf: &quot;he&quot;, Class: Pron, Case&amp;Number: $result]
</pre></div>

<p>Furthermore, there are operators which modify values or combine two
values to form a new value. Complex values can be composed using those
operators. All operators have a priority assigned. An operator with
higher priority is applied before an operator with lower priority. If
two operators have the same priority, they are applied from the left to
the right. The order in which the operators are to be applied can be
changed by bracketing with round parentheses &lsquo;<samp>()</samp>&rsquo;.

<h4 class="subsection">6.4.1 Variables</h4>

<p>A variable is marked by a &lsquo;<samp>$</samp>&rsquo; preceding its name. The name may be any
valid identifier. A variable is defined by the <code>define</code> statement; it
receives a value and may from this point on be used in all expressions within
the statement sequence. In such a statement sequence (and all subordinated
statement sequences) a variable with the same name must not be defined again.

<var>start_index</var> and ends at <var>end_index</var>, both inclusive. A
positive index counts from the string start: <code>1L</code> is the index of
the first character; a negative index counts from the string end:
<code>1R</code> is the index of the last character. If <var>end_index</var> is
omitted, it is assumed to be the same as <var>start_index</var>, so
<code>substring(<var>string</var>, <var>index</var>)</code> yields the character at
<var>index</var> in <var>string</var>.  If <var>end_index</var> is less than
<var>start_index</var>, the function yields an empty string.

<a name="index-regular-expressions"></a>
<a name="index-patterns_002c-string"></a>
<a name="index-string-patterns"></a>

<p>The condition 
<code><var>expr</var> matches <var>pattern</var></code> 
or
<code><var>expr</var> matches (<var>pattern</var>)</code>
interprets <var>pattern</var> as a pattern (a regular expression) and
tests whether <var>expr</var> matches <var>pattern</var>. Patterns are defined as
follows:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><var>pattern</var> ::= <var>alternative</var> {&lsquo;<samp>|</samp>&rsquo; <var>alternative</var>}</dt>
<dd><p>The string must be identical with one of the alternatives.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>alternative</var> ::= {<var>atom</var> [&lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo; | &lsquo;<samp>?</samp>&rsquo; | &lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo;]}</dt>
<dd><p>An alternative is a (possibly empty) sequence of atoms. An atom in a
pattern corresponds to a character in a string. By using an optional
postfix operator it is possible to specify for any atom how often it may
be repeated within the string at that location: zero times or
once (&lsquo;<samp>?</samp>&rsquo;), at least once (&lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo;), or arbitrarily often,
including zero times (&lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo;).
</p>
<p>Normally, these operators are <em>greedy</em>, i.e. they try to match as
much as possible. If you put a &lsquo;<samp>?</samp>&rsquo; behind a postfix operator, it
will try to match as few characters as possible. This can make a
difference if you&rsquo;re assigning variables in your pattern.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>atom</var> ::= &lsquo;<samp>(</samp>&rsquo; <var>pattern</var> &lsquo;<samp>)</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>A pattern may be grouped by parentheses.

<dt><var>atom</var> ::= &lsquo;<samp>[</samp>&rsquo; [&lsquo;<samp>^</samp>&rsquo;] <var>range</var> {<var>range</var>} &lsquo;<samp>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>A character class. It represents exactly one character from one of the
ranges. If the symbol &lsquo;<samp>^</samp>&rsquo; is the first one in the class, the
expression represents exactly one character that is <em>not</em> contained
in one of the ranges.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>atom</var> ::= &lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Represents any character.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>atom</var> ::= <var>character</var></dt>
<dd><p>Represents the character itself.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>range</var> ::= <var>character1</var> [&lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo; <var>character2</var>]</dt>
<dd><p>The range contains any character with a code at least as big as the code
of <var>character1</var> and not bigger than the code of
<var>character2</var>. The code of <var>character2</var> must be at least as big
as the code of <var>character1</var>. If <var>character2</var> is omitted, the
range only contains <var>character1</var>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><var>character</var> ::= Any character except &lsquo;<samp>*?+[]^-.\|()</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>To use one of the characters &lsquo;<samp>*?+[]^-.|()</samp>&rsquo;, it must be preceded by
a &lsquo;<samp>\\</samp>&rsquo; (pattern escape). To insert the pattern escape itself, you
have to double it: &lsquo;<samp>\\\\</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<p>You can divide the pattern into segments:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$surf matches (&quot;un|in|im|ir|il&quot;, &quot;.*&quot;, &quot;(en)?&quot;)
</pre></div>

<p>is is the same as
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$surf matches (&quot;(un|in|im|ir|il).*(en)?&quot;)
</pre></div>

<p>A section of the string can be stored in a variable by suffixing the respective
pattern with &lsquo;<samp>: <var>variable_name</var></samp>&rsquo;, as in
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$surf matches (&quot;un|in|im|ir|il&quot;: $a, &quot;.*&quot;)
</pre></div>

<p>For backwards compatibility, you may also prefix the pattern with the variable
name, as in
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$surf matches $a: &quot;un|in|im|ir|il&quot;, &quot;.*&quot;
</pre></div>

<p>The variables defined by pattern matching are only defined in the statement
sequence which is being executed if the pattern matching is successful.
A <code>matches</code> condition may not have variable definitions in it if it
is
</p>
<ul>
<li> contained in a disjunction (an <code>or</code> condition),
</li><li> contained in a negation (a <code>not</code> condition), or
</li><li> used as a truth value (e.g. in an assignment).
</li></ul>

<p>Every symbol used in a grammar has to be defined at least once in the 
<em>symbol table</em>. Every symbol must be followed by a semicolon:
<code>verb; noun; adjective;</code>
</p>
<p>Symbols that are being defined that way are called <em>atoms</em>. A
symbol can also be defined as a <em>molecule</em>. Then the entry for this
symbol has the following format:

</p>
<div class="example">

<p>The <var>list</var> for this symbol must consist of at least two atoms; no atom may
occur more than once in the list. This list will be used by the operators
&lsquo;<samp>~</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>/~</samp>&rsquo;, <code>atoms</code>, and <code>multi</code>. The
lists in the symbol table must be different from each other; it does not
suffice that they only differ in the order of their elements. If a symbol is
defined more than once in the symbol table, the definitions must all match:
Either the symbol must always be defined atomic or it must always be molecular
with the same atom-list.

<div class="example">
<pre class="example">initial <var>value</var>, rules <var>rule1</var>, <var>rule2</var>, ...;
</pre></div>

<p>The initial state of a combi rule file specifies a feature structure and a list

to read in the first allomorph (in morphology) or word form (in syntax). The
list may be enclosed in parentheses.

<p>A combi rule or an end rule is successful if it creates at least one

  <var>statement1</var>
  <var>statement2</var>

</pre></div>

<p>A rule has to begin with one of the keywords <code>allo_rule</code>,
<code>combi_rule</code>, <code>end_rule</code>, <code>pruning_rule</code>,
<code>robust_rule</code>, <code>input_filter</code>, <code>output_filter</code> or
<code>subrule</code>. It is followed by its <em>parameter list</em>, a list of
variable names. The variables will be assigned the
parameter values when the rule is executed. The number of parameters
depends on the rule type. The rule names have the following meanings:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>allo_rule(<var>$lex_entry</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>An allo-rule must occur exactly once in an allomorph rule file. It
analyses a lexical entry and must generate one or more allomorph entries
via <code>result</code>. An allomorph rule has one parameter, namely the
lexicon entry.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>combi_rule(<var>$state</var>, <var>$link</var>, <var>$surf</var>, <var>$index</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Any number of combi-rules may occur in a combi-rule file. Before processing
such a rule, the <em>link</em> is read in, which is either the word form or
the allomorph that follows the state&rsquo;s surface. The first parameter of the rule
is the state&rsquo;s feature structure, the second is the link&rsquo;s feature structure,
the third is the link&rsquo;s surface, and the fourth is the link&rsquo;s index. The third
and the fourth parameter are optional. A combi-rule may state a successor rule
set or accept the analysed input (both via <code>result</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>end_rule(<var>$state</var>, <var>$remain_input</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>Any number of end-rules may occur in a combi-rule file. The first parameter is
the state&rsquo;s feature structure, the second, which is optional, is the remaining
input. If the rule takes only one parameter, it is only called if the remaining
input is empty or begins with a space. An end rule may accept the analysed
input via <code>result</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>pruning_rule(<var>$list</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>A pruning-rule may occur at most once in a combi-rule file. During
analysis, it can decide which states are still valid and which
are to be deleted. The parameter is a list of feature structures of the states
that have consumed the same input so far. The pruning-rule must execute
a <code>return</code> statement with a list of the symbols <code>yes</code> and/or
<code>no</code>. Each state in <var>$list</var> corresponds to a symbol in the
result list. If the symbol is <code>yes</code>, the corresponding state is
preserved. If the symbol is <code>no</code>, the state is abandoned.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>robust_rule(<var>$surface</var>, <var>$remain_input</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>A robust-rule can only appear at most once a morphology rule file. If
robust analysis has been switched on by the <code>robust</code> command, and a
word form could not be recognised by the combi-rules, the robust-rule is
executed with the surface of the next word form as its first
parameter. The next word form is defined as the remaining input up to
(but excluding) the next space. The optional second parameter contains
the whole remaining input. A robust-rule can accept any prefix of the
remaining input via <code>result</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>input_filter(<var>$feature_structure_list</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>An input-filter may occur at most once in a syntax rule file. The
input-filter is called after a word form has been analysed. It gets one
parameter, namely the list of the analysis results, and it transforms it
to one or more filtered results (via <code>result</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>output_filter(<var>$feature_structure_list</var>)</code></dt>
<dd><p>An output-filter may occur at most once in any rule file.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">

that surface, and it transforms it to one or more filtered allomorph
feature structures (via <code>result</code>).

<dt><em>In combi-rule files:</em></dt>

<p>If a rule is executed, all statements in the rule are processed sequentially.
After that, the rule execution is terminated. Thereby, the <code>if</code> statement,
the <code>foreach</code> statement, and the <code>select</code> statement may change the
processing order. Special conditions apply if:
</p>
<ol>
<li> A condition in a <code>require</code> statement does not hold. In this case the
processing of the current rule path is terminated. This is not an error.
</li><li> The <code>stop</code> statement was executed. In this case the
processing of the current rule path is terminated. This is not an error.
</li><li> An <code>assert</code> condition does not hold. In this case the processing of
the whole grammar is terminated and an error message is displayed. This rule
termination can be used to find bugs in the rule system or in the lexicon.
</li><li> The <code>error</code> statement was executed. In this case the processing of
the whole grammar is terminated and an error message is displayed. 
</li><li> The <code>return</code> statement was executed in a subrule or in a pruning
rule. In a subrule, this terminates the subrule int the current rule path and
immediately returns to the calling rule. In a pruning rule, this terminates
the pruning rule.

<hr>
<a name="The-Assignment"></a>
<a name="The-Assignment-1"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.11.2 The Assignment</h4>
<a name="index-assignment"></a>

<p>To set the value of an already defined variable to a different value, use a
statement of the following form:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"><var>$var</var> := <var>expr</var>;
</pre></div>

<p>The expression <var>expr</var> is evaluated and the result is assigned to the
variable <var>$var</var>. The variable must have already been defined.
</p>
<p>You can assign the elements of a list value to multiple variables at once:
<a name="index-list-assignment"></a>
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">&lt;<var>$var1</var>, <var>$var2</var>, ... &gt; := <var>expr</var>;
</pre></div>

<p>The first, second, ... element of <var>expr</var>, which must be a list, is
assigned to variable <var>$var1</var>, <var>$var2</var>, ... respectively. Any of
these variables may be followed by a path.
The number of variables must match the length of the list value.
</p>
<p>You can optionally specify a path behind the variable that is to be set by an
assignment:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example"><var>$var</var>.<var>part1</var>.<var>part2</var> := <var>value</var>;
</pre></div>

<p>In this case, only the value of <code><var>$var</var>.<var>part1</var>.<var>part2</var></code>
will be set to <var>value</var>; the remainder of the variable <var>$var</var>
will be unchanged. Each <var>part</var> must be an expression that evaluates
to a symbol, a number or a list of symbols and numbers.
</p>
<p>You can also use one of four other assignment operators instead of the operator
&lsquo;<samp>:=</samp>&rsquo;: The statement <code><var>$var</var> :=+ <var>value</var>;</code> is a
shorthand for <code><var>$var</var> := <var>$var</var> + <var>value</var>;</code>. The
same holds for the assignment operators &lsquo;<samp>:=-</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>:=*</samp>&rsquo;, and
&lsquo;<samp>:=/</samp>&rsquo;. Here, <var>$var</var> may be followed by a path again.

<p>The <code>break</code> statement leaves the <code>foreach</code> loop with <var>Label</var>.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">break <var>Label</var>;
</pre></div>

<p>If the label is omitted, the break statement leaves the innermost
<code>foreach</code> loop it is contained in. The statement must be situated

<a name="The-choose-Statement"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.11.4 The <code>choose</code> Statement</h4>
<a name="index-choose-_0028statement_0029"></a>

<p>The <code>choose</code> statement chooses an element of a list. Its format
is:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">choose <var>$var</var> in <var>expr</var>;
</pre></div>

<p>For every element in the list <var>expr</var> a rule path is created; in this
rule path the element is stored in the variable <var>$var</var>. Thus the
number of rule paths can multiply. If, for example, <var>expr</var> has the
value <code>&lt;A, B, C&gt;</code>, the currently processed rule path has three
continuations: In the first one <var>$var</var> has the value <code>A</code>, in
the second one it has the value <code>B</code> and in the third one it has the
value <code>C</code>. The three paths behave independently from now on.
</p>
<p>The <code>choose</code> statement can also be used for records. In that case, the
variable <var>$var</var> gets a different attribute name of the record
<var>expr</var> in each path.
</p>
<p>The <code>choose</code> statement also works for numbers: 
</p><ul>
<li> If <var>expr</var> is a positive number <var>n</var>, the variable <var>$var</var> is
assigned the numbers 1, 2, ..., <var>n</var>, respectively, in each path.
</li><li> If <var>expr</var> is a negative number <var>-n</var>, the variable <var>$var</var> is
assigned the numbers -1, -2, ..., <var>-n</var>, respectively, in each path.

<p>The <code>continue</code> statement terminates the current pass of the

current pass is the last one, the loop will be left.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">continue <var>Label</var>;

<a name="The-define-Statement"></a>
<h4 class="subsection">6.11.6 The <code>define</code> Statement</h4>

<p>A <code>define</code> statement is of the form
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">define <var>$var</var> := <var>expr</var>;
</pre></div>
<p>The expression <var>expr</var> is evaluated and the result is assigned to the
variable <var>$var</var>. The variable may not be defined before this statement;
it is defined by the statement and only exists until the statement sequence in

<p>You may wish to manipulate all elements of a list or a record

<code>foreach</code> statement was introduced. It has the following format:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">foreach <var>$var</var> in <var>expr</var>:
  <var>statements</var>
end foreach;
</pre></div>

<p>Sequentually, <var>$var</var> is assigned a number of values, depending on the
type of <var>expr</var>, and the statement sequence <var>statements</var> is executed
for each of those assignments. Every time the <var>statements</var> are being
walked through, the variable <var>$var</var> is defined again. Its scope is the
block <var>statements</var>.
</p>
<ul>
<li> If <var>expr</var> is a list, <var>$var</var> is assigned the first, second,
third, ... element of <var>expr</var>.
</li><li> If <var>expr</var> is a record, <var>$var</var> is assigned the first, second,
... attribute name of <var>expr</var>.
</li><li> If <var>expr</var> is a positive number <var>n</var>, the variable <var>$var</var> is
assigned the numbers 1, 2, ..., <var>n</var> sequentially.
</li><li> If <var>expr</var> is a negative number <var>n</var>, the variable <var>$var</var> is
assigned the numbers -1, -2, ..., <var>-n</var> sequentially.
</li><li> If <var>expr</var> is an empty list, an empty record or the number 0, the
foreach loop is terminated immediately.

<p>The <code>elseif</code> part may be repeated unrestrictedly (including zero times),
the <code>else</code> part may be omitted.

<p>First, <var>condition1</var> is evaluated. If it is satisfied, the
statement sequence <var>statements1</var> is executed.
</p>
<p>If the first condition is not satisfied, <var>condition2</var> is evaluated; if
the result is true, <var>statements2</var> is executed. This procedure is
repeated for every <code>elseif</code> part until a condition is satisfied.
</p>
<p>If the <code>if</code> condition and <code>elseif</code> conditions fail, the statement
sequence <var>statements3</var> is executed (if it exists).

<a name="index-repeat-_0028statement_0029"></a>

<p>You may wish to repeat a sequence of statements while a specific condition
holds. This can be realised by the <code>repeat</code> loop. It has the following
form:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">repeat
  <var>statements1</var>
while <var>condition</var>;
  <var>statements2</var>
end repeat;

<p>The statements <var>statements1</var> are executed. Then,  <var>condition</var>
is tested. If it holds, the <var>statements2</var> are
executed and the <code>repeat</code> statement is executed again. If <var>condition</var>
does not hold, execution proceeds after the <code>repeat</code> statement.
</p>
<p>If <var>statements1</var> is empty, the <code>repeat</code> loop is equivalent to a
while loop in C:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">repeat while <var>condition</var>;
  <var>statements</var>
end repeat;
</pre></div>

<p>If <var>statements2</var> is empty, the <code>repeat</code> loop is equivalent to a

<p>A lexicon file has the suffix <samp>.lex</samp>. It consists of any number of

value stands for a lexical entry. A value may contain named constants
and the operators &lsquo;<samp>.</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>+</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>*</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>/</samp>&rsquo;.

<p>The allomorph lexicon is generated from the base form lexicon by applying the
allo-rule on the base form entries. The allomorph generation rule file has
the suffix <samp>.all</samp> and consists of one allo-rule, an optional
output-filter, and any number of subrules and constant definitions.
</p>
<p>For every lexical entry, the allo-rule is executed with the value of the
lexicon entry as parameter. The allo-rule can generate allomorphs using the
<code>result</code> statement.
</p>
<p>After all allomorphs have been produced, the output-filter is executed once for
each surface in the (intermediate) allomorph lexicon. As parameter, the
output-filter gets the list of feature structures that share that surface. An
entry in the final allomorph lexicon is created everytime the <code>result</code>
statement is executed. The surface cannot be changed by the output-filter.

<p>A grammar system includes up to two combination rules files: one for
morphological combination with the suffix <samp>.mor</samp> and (optionally) one
for syntactic combination with the suffix <samp>.syn</samp>.
</p>
<p>A combination rule file consists of an initial state and any number of
combi-rules, subrules, and constant definitions. A syntax rule file
may contain one optional pruning-rule, one optional input-filter and
one optional output-filter; a morphology rule file may contain one
optional robust-rule, one optional pruning-rule and one optional
output-filter. 
</p>
<p>Beginning with the rules listed up in the initial state, the rules and
their successors are processed until a <code>result</code> statement with the
keyword <code>accept</code> is encountered in every path. A path dies if there is no
more input (from the lexicon or from the morphology) that can be processed.
</p>
<p>In morphology, if analysis has created no result and robust analysis has been
switched on, the robust-rule will be called with the analysis surface and can
create a result.
</p>
<p>In syntax, when a new wordfom has been imported from morphology, the
input-filter can take a look at its feature structuress and create new result
feature structures. 
</p>
<p>If a pruning-rule is present, pruning has been activated, and the
number of current LAG states is not less than <code>mor-pruning</code> (in
morphology) or <code>syn-pruning</code> (in syntax), the concatenation of
the next allomorph (in morphology) or word form (in syntax) is
preceded by the following step: The feature structures of all current
LAG states are merged into a list, which is the parameter of the
pruning rule. The pruning-rule must execute a <code>return</code> statement
with a list of the symbols <code>yes</code> and <code>no</code>. Each state in the
feature structure list corresponds to a symbol in the result list. If
the symbol is <code>yes</code>, the corresponding state is preserved. If the
symbol is <code>no</code>, the state is abandoned.
</p>
<p>After analysis has completed, the output-filter can take a look at all result
feature structures and create new result feature structures. This can
be used to merge similar feature structures or drop some results.

notation:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Terminals like <code>assert</code> and &lsquo;<samp>:=</samp>&rsquo; stand for themselves. 
</li><li> Nonterminals like <var>assignment</var> are defined by <em>productions</em>.
</li><li> A bar &lsquo;|&rsquo; separates alternatives.

multiple times.
</li><li> Parentheses &lsquo;()&rsquo; are used for grouping.
</li></ul>

<p>The start productions for Malaga source texts are
<var>lexicon-file</var>, <var>rule-file</var>, and <var>symbol-file</var>. A
