Using Inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming to Combine Syntactic Rules and Lexical Idiosyncrasies

Benoît Habert


Abstract
In parsing idioms and frozen expressions in French, one needs to combine general syntactic rules and idiosyncratic constraints. The inheritance structure provided by Object-Oriented Programming languages, and more specifically the combination of methods present in CLOS, Common Lisp Object System, appears as an elegant and efficient approach to deal with such a complex interaction.
