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
                               ! trees where this rule applies will be preferred
                               ! over trees that don't
                               ! 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

                               ! You can also just write "_" for a space, but

                               ! that we don't want to lose

 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>$}$

  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>$}$}$

 Note that the determiner still has GD as it's gender. Child tags are not modified until the output step.

 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.

 No rules begin with VP, so it's time to output. Both rules have the same number of trees (1), but the second one has higher weight (10), so the first one gets discarded and we output the second one.
