 | | As in the previous version, punctuation symbols are "stripped off" of words, in that a space is inserted between the symbol and a neighboring word; they can then be treated like ordinary words, and linked to other words or to the wall. |
 | | In the new version, however, the symbols to be stripped off in this way can easily be specified and modified by the user, using an "affix file" which is read in by the parser when the program is run. |
 | | An affix file is similar in format to a link grammar dictionary, with lists of strings (they need not be individual symbols, but may be any length), followed by a connector type. |
