Editing Link grammar (section)

=== Example 1 ===
A basic rule file for an SVO language might look like:

 <determiner>     D+;
 <noun-subject>  {D−} &  S+;
 <noun-object>   {D−} &  O−;
 <verb>           S−  & {O+};

Thus the English sentence, "The boy painted a picture" would appear as:

            +-----O-----+
  +-D-+--S--+     +--D--+
  |   |     |     |     |
 The boy painted  a  picture

Similar parses apply for Chinese.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Carol Liu |url=https://www.link.cs.cmu.edu/link/papers/index.html |title=Towards A Link Grammar for Chinese |journal=Computer Processing of Chinese and Oriental Languages |publisher=Chinese Language Computer Society |year=2001}}</ref>
