XLE Walkthrough

EXERCISE 1: Basic Walkthrough

Do the XLE "walkthrough".

To find the walkthrough:

1. Start xle.
   (either type:

             xle
   

   at the command line or start xle within emacs)
2. Type:

           documentation
   

   at the prompt.
3. A browser will be launched with the documentation.
4. Choose: Walkthrough which should be the first choice.
5. If you cannot get the documentation to launch properly from xle, it can be found in:
   /afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE/SunOS/doc/walkthrough.html

The walkthrough has two parts:

1. where you type in a grammar yourself
2. where you use an existing file. This file can be found in:
   /afs/ir.stanford.edu/class/linguist239e/assignments/week1/
   or
   /afs/ir.stanford.edu/data/linguistics/XLE/SunOS/doc/

You need to do both parts of the walkthrough.

EXERCISE 2: Augmenting your lexicon

You should augment this grammar by adding to the lexicon:

• two more count nouns
• 1 more intransitive verb
• 1 more transitive verb
• 1 more verb that is both transitive and intransitive

Turn in: This augmented grammar.

PART 2: Sentences

Create a list of 10 sentences that your augmented grammar can parse.

Turn in: This list of sentences.
