# This example parses ambiguous English sentences. The target annotation
# is Penn Treebank's syntactic bracketing tags. For details, see
# http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~treebank/
# This example originally came from Ralf Muschall. Ruslan Shvedov
# reworked my implementation, converting it to the SLIF and
# Penn Treebank. Ruslan and Ralf clearly know English grammar better than
# most of us native speakers.
# 'time', 'fruit', and 'flies' can be nouns or verbs, 'like' can be
# a preposition or a verb. This creates syntactic ambiguity shown
# in the parse results.
# Modifier nouns are not tagged or lexed as adjectives (JJ), because
# "Nouns that are used as modifiers, whether in isolation or in sequences,
# should be tagged as nouns (NN, NNS) rather than as adjectives (JJ)."

# The saying "time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana"
# is attributed to Groucho Marx, but there is no reason to believe
# he ever said it. Apparently, the saying
# first appeared on the Usenet on net.jokes in 1982.
# I've documented this whole thing on Wikipedia:
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_flies_like_an_arrow
