A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for generating rules to be utilized by a rule-based system. A parser analyzes a received string of words according to grammatical rules to generate a parse tree. The parse tree may then be reviewed by a user to determine if such a parse tree represents the appropriate syntactic structure of the string of words. If the user believes that the parse tree does not represent the appropriate syntactic structure of the string, then the user, who does not need to possess the expertise of natural language processing, may select the nodes and/or edges of the parse tree in a particular order that corresponds to the correct syntactic structure of the string of words. A grammatical rule is then created for parsing the string of words based on the user selection of nodes and/or edges of the parse tree in a particular order.
