RE: Grammar question : multiple keywords

You can use sub grammars for Action, Name and Object:
 
Mygrammar [
   (Action:a Name:n Object:o)  {<action $a><contact $n><object $o>}

]
 
Action [
   send {return ("send")} 
   offer {return ("offer")}
]
 
Name [
  jhon {return ("jhon")} 
  tabatha {return("tabatha")}
]
 
Object [
  cookie {return ("cookie")} 
  flowers {return ("flowers")} 
]

Subject: Grammar question : multiple keywords



Hi,

I'd like to know if that's possible to build a grammar able to recognize
multiple keywords, for example, "offer John a cookie", "send Tabatha
flowers", without building a grammar like :

<grammar>
   <![CDATA[[
    (offer John cookie) {<action="offer"><contact="John"><object="cookie">}
    (offer John flowers)
{<action="offer"><contact="John"><object="flowers">}
    (send John cookie) {<action="send "><contact="John"><object="cookie">}
    (send John flowers) {<action="send "><contact="John"><object="flowers">}
    (offer Tabatha cookie) {<action="offer"><contact="Tabatha
"><object="cookie">}
    (offer Tabatha flowers) {<action="offer"><contact="Tabatha
"><object="flowers">}
    (send Tabatha cookie) {<action="send "><contact="Tabatha
"><object="cookie">}
    (send Tabatha flowers) {<action="send "><contact="Tabatha
"><object="flowers">}
   ]]]>
</grammar>

because if you have a lot of actions and contacts, the grammar will be too
huge to describe all combinations.
 
 
Thanks for your help
