Abstract

A method for parsing of a language defined by context free grammar includes the steps of extracting groups corresponding to words of a sentence in an order of word arrangement of the sentence, each of the groups being formed by a terminal symbol, a start-position number, and an end-position number of a corresponding one of the words; creating a state list by using the groups, the context free grammar, and an LR table derived from the context free grammar, the state list corresponding to position numbers indicating positions of the words and including state numbers indicating state of the parsing; and carrying out the parsing while creating the state list.
