Multiple analyses of syntactically ambiguous sentences have been effectively and economically realized by a new extension of the method of predictive syntactic analysis. Branchings caused by homography (membership of a given word form in more than one syntactic word class) and by multiple functions of a given word class are followed in a systematic loop-free sequence in which each partial path is traversed only once. Different paths that reach the last word in a sentence correspond to different acceptable syntactic structures of the sentence. The current grammar for the multiple-path syntactic analyzer is described and listed in full. Brief explanations of the format of the grammar and of the various symbols used in conjunction with it are given in the succeeding section, in order to help readers to understand the grammar.
