Abstract: An arbitrary definite clause grammar can be transfomled into a so-called Generalized Oreibach Normal Form (GGNF), a generalization of the classical Groibach Norreal Form (GNF) for context-free grammars. The normalized definite clause grammar is declarafively equivalent to the original definite clause grammar, that is, it assigns the same analyses to the same strings. Offiine-parsability of the original grammar is reflected in an elementary textual property of the transformed grammar. When this... (Update)
