An example grammar

We have a working grammar and two trees that represent the string "Alice did see the man with a telescope". In the parse trees shown below, the first structure implies that Alice used a telescope to see the man ("with a telescope" is an adverbial phrase of "did see'); while in the second parse tree, the structure implies that the man that Alice saw was carrying a telescope ("with a telescope" is an adjective phrase describing "the man").

Here are the trees shown in 2-dimensional form using our project algorithm.

The string yield of both trees is "Alice did see the man with a telescope."

Here is our paper with the few revisions we made today. This is most likely the last revision we will make this summer.
