A version of this example with pictures can be found at https://www.overleaf.com/read/pkjjgzjczhzh (if that link doesn't work, the source is here and a compiled version at File:Recursive Transfer Hobbit Example.pdf).

Initial Sentence

In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit.

A Simple Set of Rules

!!! Attribute categories

gender = m f;                  ! A "gender" tag is either <m> or <f>
definite = def ind;
tense = past pres ifi;

number = (ND sg) sg pl ND;     ! A "number" tag is <sg>, <pl>, or <ND>
                               ! if a node has <ND> at output time, it will
                               ! be replaced with <sg>
person = (PD p3) p1 p2 p3 PD;

!!! Tag rewrite rules

tense > tense : past ifi;      ! Nodes with tense tag <past> will be output
                               ! with tense tag <ifi>

!!! Output patterns

n: _.gender.number;            ! When outputting a noun, output the part of
                               ! speech tag, then gender, then number
det: _.definite.gender.number;
pr: _;
vblex: _.tense.person.number;
adv: _;

NP: _.gender.number;           ! Nodes in the tree also need tag orders defined
DP: _.gender.number;           ! These tags are the primary way of passing
PP: _;                         ! information to different parts of the tree
VP: _.tense.person.number;

!!! Reduction rules

NP -> %n { 1 } |               ! "n" this rule matches  a noun
                               ! "NP ->" this rule outputs an NP (noun phrase)
                               ! "%" any tags that NP needs that aren't specified
                               ! elsewhere should come from the n
                               ! "{ 1 }" output the first item in the pattern (n)
      10: %n PP { 1 _1 2 } ;
                               ! "10:" this rule has a weight of 10
                               ! the weight of a tree is the sum of the weights
                               ! of the rules that were applied to produce it
                               ! and trees with higher weights are preferred

                               ! In this example, this will prefer
                               ! [in a hole [in the ground]]
                               ! rather than
                               ! [in a hole] [in the ground]
                               ! which would also be a syntactically valid parse
                               ! according to these rules

PP -> pr DP { 1 _1 2 } ;       ! "_1" output the non-word material following
                               ! pattern element 1, that is, the space between
                               ! words 1 and 2
                               ! You can also just write "_" for a space, but
                               ! there might be formatting information in there
                               ! that we don't want to lose

DP -> det %NP { 1[gender=2.gender, number=2.number] _1 2 } ;
                               ! "1[gender=2.gender, number=2.number]"
                               ! replace whatever gender and number tags the det
                               ! had before with the ones from the NP

VP -> %vblex DP { 1[tense=$tense, person=$person, number=$number] _1 2 } |

 Rule 1 (NP -> n) could apply, but it's possible that reading more of the input would make it so rule 2 (NP -> n PP) could apply, so we do both.
Apply rule 1 (NP -> n) in the first branch
  1. ^In<pr>/En<pr>$
  2. ^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$
  3. ^unknown<NP><m><sg>{^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$}$

  2. ^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$
  3. ^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$
 Since the rule says %n, the required NP tags (gender and number) are filled in with the values of the noun tags.
Apply rule 4 (DP -> det NP) in the first branch
  1. ^In<pr>/En<pr>$
  2. ^unknown<DP><m><sg>{^a<det><ind><sg>/uno<det><ind><GD><sg>$ ^unknown<NP><m><sg>{^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$}$}$

  3. ^hole<n><sg>/agujero<n><m><sg>$
 Note that the determiner still has GD as it's gender. Child tags are not modified until the output step.

 This time the next word is an adverb, rather than a preposition, so no splitting occurs and the rule is applied in each branch.

 VP wants tense, person, and number tags. The verb supplies tense, but it doesn't have person or number tags, so the defaults are used instead.
