Students sometimes find it helpful to use a parser to test their ability to form correct sentences.
Languages that are more easily parsed are likely to be more amenable to automated translation and artificial intelligence applications. The vast majority of correct Vorlin sentences can be parsed using a set of about two dozen context-free rules. These rules have been developed using the PC-PATR parser available from the Summer Institute of Linguistics. PC-PATR was chosen for this project because it is free and is available in Macintosh, DOS, Windows and Unix versions. As with any text file, you might need to convert them to Windows or Mac format to get them to work properly on your computer.
