Abstract

The present invention discloses a technology for decomposing prose elements in document processing. Grammar analysis of complex sentences can identify main clause, embedded clauses, phrases and cohesive ties that link the embedded clauses to the main clause. Cohesive ties are stripped down and a weighted punctuation for segmentation is applied to decompose complex sentences into simple sentences.
