In general, when we are trying to develop even a very small grammar,
it is convenient to put the rules in a file where they can be edited,
tested and revised. Let's assume that we have saved feat0cfg as a file named
``'feat0.fcfg'`` and placed it in the NLTK ``data`` directory. We can
inspect it as follows:
>>> nltk.data.show_cfg('grammars/book_grammars/feat0.fcfg')
% start S

N[NUM=sg] -> 'dog' | 'girl' | 'car' | 'child'
N[NUM=pl] -> 'dogs' | 'girls' | 'cars' | 'children'
IV[TENSE=pres, NUM=sg] -> 'disappears' | 'walks'
TV[TENSE=pres, NUM=sg] -> 'sees' | 'likes'
IV[TENSE=pres, NUM=pl] -> 'disappear' | 'walk'
TV[TENSE=pres, NUM=pl] -> 'see' | 'like'
IV[TENSE=past] -> 'disappeared' | 'walked'
TV[TENSE=past] -> 'saw' | 'liked'
Assuming we have saved feat0cfg as a file named
``'feat0.fcfg'``, the function ``parse.load_parser`` allows us to
read the grammar into NLTK, ready for use in parsing.
>>> cp = parse.load_parser('grammars/book_grammars/feat0.fcfg', trace=1)
>>> sent = 'Kim likes children'
>>> tokens = sent.split()
>>> tokens
['Kim', 'likes', 'children']
>>> trees = cp.parse(tokens)

>>> for tree in trees: print(tree)
(S[]
(NP[NUM='sg'] (PropN[NUM='sg'] Kim))
(VP[NUM='sg', TENSE='pres']
(TV[NUM='sg', TENSE='pres'] likes)
(NP[NUM='pl'] (N[NUM='pl'] children))))
The parser works directly with
the underspecified productions given by the grammar. That is, the
Predictor rule does not attempt to compile out all admissible feature
combinations before trying to expand the non-terminals on the left hand
side of a production. However, when the Scanner matches an input word
against a lexical production that has been predicted, the new edge will
typically contain fully specified features; e.g., the edge
[PropN[`num`:feat: = `sg`:fval:] |rarr| 'Kim', (0, 1)]. Recall from
Chapter 8 that the Fundamental (or Completer) Rule in
standard CFGs is used to combine an incomplete edge that's expecting a
nonterminal *B* with a following, complete edge whose left hand side
matches *B*. In our current setting, rather than checking for a
complete match, we test whether the expected category *B* will
unify with the left hand side *B'* of a following complete
edge. We will explain in more detail in Section 9.2 how
unification works; for the moment, it is enough to know that as a
result of unification, any variable values of features in *B* will be
instantiated by constant values in the corresponding feature structure
in *B'*, and these instantiated values will be used in the new edge
added by the Completer. This instantiation can be seen, for example,
in the edge
[NP [`num`:feat:\ =\ `sg`:fval:] |rarr| PropN[`num`:feat:\ =\ `sg`:fval:] |dot|, (0, 1)]
in Example 9.2, where the feature `num`:feat: has been assigned the value `sg`:fval:.
Feature structures in NLTK are ... Atomic feature values can be strings or
integers.
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(TENSE='past', NUM='sg')
>>> print(fs1)
[ NUM = 'sg' ]
[ TENSE = 'past' ]
We can think of a feature structure as being like a Python dictionary,
and access its values by indexing in the usual way.
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(PER=3, NUM='pl', GND='fem')
>>> print(fs1['GND'])
fem
We can also define feature structures which have complex values, as
discussed earlier.
>>> fs2 = nltk.FeatStruct(POS='N', AGR=fs1)
>>> print(fs2)
[ [ GND = 'fem' ] ]
[ AGR = [ NUM = 'pl' ] ]
[ [ PER = 3 ] ]
[ ]
[ POS = 'N' ]
>>> print(fs2['AGR'])
[ GND = 'fem' ]
[ NUM = 'pl' ]
[ PER = 3 ]
>>> print(fs2['AGR']['PER'])
3
Feature structures can also be constructed using the ``parse()``
method of the ``nltk.FeatStruct`` class. Note that in this case, atomic
feature values do not need to be enclosed in quotes.
>>> f1 = nltk.FeatStruct("[NUMBER = sg]")
>>> f2 = nltk.FeatStruct("[PERSON = 3]")
>>> print(nltk.unify(f1, f2))
[ NUMBER = 'sg' ]
[ PERSON = 3 ]
>>> f1 = nltk.FeatStruct("[A = [B = b, D = d]]")
>>> f2 = nltk.FeatStruct("[A = [C = c, D = d]]")
>>> print(nltk.unify(f1, f2))
[ [ B = 'b' ] ]
[ A = [ C = 'c' ] ]
[ [ D = 'd' ] ]
Feature Structures as Graphs
----------------------------
Feature structures are not inherently tied to linguistic objects; they are
general purpose structures for representing knowledge. For example, we
could encode information about a person in a feature structure:
>>> person01 = nltk.FeatStruct("[NAME=Lee, TELNO='01 27 86 42 96',AGE=33]")
>>> print(person01)
[ AGE = 33 ]
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
[ TELNO = '01 27 86 42 96' ]
There are a number of notations for representing reentrancy in
matrix-style representations of feature structures. In NLTK, we adopt
the following convention: the first occurrence of a shared feature structure
is prefixed with an integer in parentheses, such as ``(1)``, and any
subsequent reference to that structure uses the notation
``->(1)``, as shown below.
>>> fs = nltk.FeatStruct("""[NAME=Lee, ADDRESS=(1)[NUMBER=74, STREET='rue Pascal'],
... SPOUSE=[NAME=Kim, ADDRESS->(1)]]""")
>>> print(fs)
[ ADDRESS = (1) [ NUMBER = 74 ] ]
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]
[ ]
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
[ ]
[ SPOUSE = [ ADDRESS -> (1) ] ]
[ [ NAME = 'Kim' ] ]
There can be any number of tags within a single feature structure.
>>> fs3 = nltk.FeatStruct("[A=(1)[B=b], C=(2)[], D->(1), E->(2)]")
>>> print(fs3)
[ A = (1) [ B = 'b' ] ]
[ ]
[ C = (2) [] ]
[ ]
[ D -> (1) ]
[ E -> (2) ]
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(NUMBER=74, STREET='rue Pascal')
>>> fs2 = nltk.FeatStruct(CITY='Paris')
>>> print(nltk.unify(fs1, fs2))
[ CITY = 'Paris' ]
[ NUMBER = 74 ]
[ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ]
Unification is symmetric:
>>> nltk.unify(fs1, fs2) == nltk.unify(fs2, fs1)
True
Unification is commutative:
>>> fs3 = nltk.FeatStruct(TELNO='01 27 86 42 96')
>>> nltk.unify(nltk.unify(fs1, fs2), fs3) == nltk.unify(fs1, nltk.unify(fs2, fs3))
True
Unification between *FS*:math:`_0` and *FS*:math:`_1` will fail if the
two feature structures share a path |pi|,
but the value of |pi| in *FS*:math:`_0` is a distinct
atom from the value of |pi| in *FS*:math:`_1`. In NLTK,
this is implemented by setting the result of unification to be
``None``.
>>> fs0 = nltk.FeatStruct(A='a')
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(A='b')
>>> print(nltk.unify(fs0, fs1))
None
Now, if we look at how unification interacts with structure-sharing,
things become really interesting.
>>> fs0 = nltk.FeatStruct("""[NAME=Lee,
... ADDRESS=[NUMBER=74,
... STREET='rue Pascal'],
... SPOUSE= [NAME=Kim,
... ADDRESS=[NUMBER=74,
... STREET='rue Pascal']]]""")
>>> print(fs0)
[ ADDRESS = [ NUMBER = 74 ] ]
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]
[ ]
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
[ ]
[ [ ADDRESS = [ NUMBER = 74 ] ] ]
[ SPOUSE = [ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ] ]
[ [ ] ]
[ [ NAME = 'Kim' ] ]
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct("[SPOUSE=[ADDRESS=[CITY=Paris]]]")
>>> print(nltk.unify(fs0, fs1))
[ ADDRESS = [ NUMBER = 74 ] ]
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]
[ ]
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
[ ]
[ [ [ CITY = 'Paris' ] ] ]
[ [ ADDRESS = [ NUMBER = 74 ] ] ]
[ SPOUSE = [ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ] ]
[ [ ] ]
[ [ NAME = 'Kim' ] ]
>>> fs2 = nltk.FeatStruct("""[NAME=Lee, ADDRESS=(1)[NUMBER=74, STREET='rue Pascal'],
... SPOUSE=[NAME=Kim, ADDRESS->(1)]]""")
>>> print(fs2)
[ ADDRESS = (1) [ NUMBER = 74 ] ]
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]
[ ]
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
[ ]
[ SPOUSE = [ ADDRESS -> (1) ] ]
[ [ NAME = 'Kim' ] ]
>>> print(nltk.unify(fs2, fs1))
[ [ CITY = 'Paris' ] ]
[ ADDRESS = (1) [ NUMBER = 74 ] ]
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]
[ ]
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
[ ]
[ SPOUSE = [ ADDRESS -> (1) ] ]
[ [ NAME = 'Kim' ] ]
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct("[ADDRESS1=[NUMBER=74, STREET='rue Pascal']]")
>>> fs2 = nltk.FeatStruct("[ADDRESS1=?x, ADDRESS2=?x]")
>>> print(fs2)
[ ADDRESS1 = ?x ]
[ ADDRESS2 = ?x ]
>>> print(nltk.unify(fs1, fs2))
[ ADDRESS1 = (1) [ NUMBER = 74 ] ]
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]

Grammar with Binding Operators
------------------------------
The bindop.fcfg grammar is a semantic grammar that uses lambda
calculus. Each element has a core semantics, which is a single lambda
calculus expression; and a set of binding operators, which bind
variables.
In order to make the binding operators work right, they need to
instantiate their bound variable every time they are added to the
chart. To do this, we use a special subclass of `Chart`, called
`InstantiateVarsChart`.
>>> from nltk.parse.featurechart import InstantiateVarsChart
>>> cp = parse.load_parser('grammars/sample_grammars/bindop.fcfg', trace=1,
... chart_class=InstantiateVarsChart)
>>> print(cp.grammar())
