Editing Link grammar (section)

=== Example 3 (morphology) ===
In many languages with a concatenative morphology, the stem plays no grammatical role; the grammar is determined by the suffixes.  Thus, in [[Russian language|Russian]], the sentence 'вверху плыли редкие облачка' might have the parse:<ref>Документация по [http://www.abisource.com/projects/link-grammar/russian/doc/ связям] и по [http://www.abisource.com/projects/link-grammar/russian/doc/morph/ классам слов] доступна.</ref><ref>[http://slashzone.ru/parser/ Грамматика связей (Link Grammar)]</ref>

 LEFT-WALL вверху.e плы.= =ли.vnndpp ре.= =дкие.api облачк.= =а.ndnpi

The subscripts, such as '.vnndpp', are used to indicate the grammatical category.  The primary links: Wd, EI, SIp and Api connect together the suffixes, as, in principle, other stems could appear here, without altering the structure of the sentence. The Api link indicates the adjective; SIp denotes subject-verb inversion; EI is a modifier. The Wd link is used to indicate the head noun; the head verb is not indicated in this sentence.  The LLXXX links serve only to attach stems to suffixes.
