to appear in Proc. of
First Workshop on Tabulation in Parsing and Deduction (TAPD'98),
Paris, France, 1998.
We present a definite clause based parsing environment for natural languages, whose operational model is the dynamic interpretation of logical push-down automata. We attempt to briefly explain our design decisions in terms of a set of properties that practical natural language processing systems should incorporate. The aim is to show both the advantages and the drawbacks of our approach.
