    Hello,

    I am looking for references to syntactic parsers
    that deal with morphologically rich flexive languages.

    In particular, I am interested in :

    1. Approaches to deal with the number of POS tags
    (terminals) that would supposedly be larger
    than for English or French, e.g if one tries
    to build a list of POS tags for a morphologically
    rich language in order to follow approaches
    developed for English, this list may easily grow up
    to thousands of entries which implies that grammars
    using such a huge list of terminals would be quite
    complicated.

    2. Approaches to deal with the free or loosely
    restricted order of words that is often proper to
    morphologically rich languages and which requires
    different parsing techniques than for English,
    where a common shift/reduce parser is often sufficient.

    Thanks in advance,
