Executive Communication Systems (ECS) is pleased to introduce its
Natural Language Toolkits.  The Toolkits provide a comprehensive
development environment which includes a morphology rule generator,
a parsing or translation engine, a semantic network utility, and
a lexicon building and maintenance utility.  The formalism and tools are
based on Lexical-Functional Grammar and are language-independent:
modifiable control tables and parameters allow quick prototyping
and development of systems for new languages.  The Toolkits have
already been used to develop English-Chinese, English-Korean, Korean-English
and English-Japanese translation systems, English-French and French-
-English prototypes, and prototype German and Spanish grammars.

The ECS English Grammar and Lexicon are also available: the grammar
consists of a mature set of English analysis rules, while the lexicon
contains 15,000 fully flagged English words.  Chinese and Korean lexica
are also available.  Grammars and lexica for other languages are forthcoming.
 
Educational discounts are available.  For more information, please
