Table 2 Rule set for shallow parsing. The rules are used to identify general verbal and prepositional relations between noun phrases in text. N is a noun, Det a determiner, Adj an adjective, Adv an adverb, P a preposition, NP a noun phrase, PP a prepositional phrase, VP a verb phrase, VG a verb group, and REL is the target relation. Notice, that the grammar does not consider coordinating conjunctions, e.g. with "and", "or" and ",".

NP = Det? (Adj|Adv|N)* N

PP = P NP

VG = (Adv|Aux|V|InfTo)* V

VP = VG NP PP*

REL = NP PP* VP
