Using Types to Parse Natural Language
... Parsing natural language text is much more difficult. One reason is that grammars for natural languages are often complex, ambiguous, and specified by collections of examples rather than complete formal rules. Another difficulty is that punctuation is used much more sparingly. For example, many sent ...
