✦ Synopsis

An efficient and effective system for natural language processing (NLP) was developed for improving free text analysis. The main linguistic ideas and the global system architecture are described. For improvlng effectiveness while keeping efficiency high we made use of principled techniques from empirical Ilnguistics. This means that all rules are evaluated and the rule system is kept as small as possible. The approach is exemplified by the analysis of conjunctions.
