Abstract
A natural language understanding server includes grammars specified in a modified extended Backus-Naur form (MEBNF) that includes an agglutination metasymbol not supported by conventional EBNF grammar parsers, as well as an agglutination preprocessor. The agglutination preprocessor applies one or more sets of agglutination rewrite rules to the MEBNF grammars, transforming them to EBNF grammars that can be processed by conventional EBNF grammar parsers. Permitting grammars to be specified in MEBNF form greatly simplifies the authoring and maintenance of grammars supporting inflected forms of words in the languages described by the grammars.
