Class Parser

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Parameters:

• grammar - the jazzparser.grammar.Grammar instance to use for parsing
• tagger - the jazzparser.taggers.tagger.Tagger subclass instance to use to tag the input
• backoff - an optional jazzparser.backoff.base.BackoffBuilder class to use as a fallback if the parser returns no parses. Whether this is used and in what circumstances depends on the type of parser.
• backoff_options - dictionary of options to pass to the backoff model if it gets used.
• logger (logging.Logger) - a logger to which all progress information during parsing will be written. By default, outputs to stderr.

Overrides: object.__init__

Convenience method. Uses the backoff model on the input supplied to the tagger and returns the results. If no backoff model has been given, returns an empty list.

In normal parser usage, the options dictionary is checked for validity when the parser is instantiated. In this interface, you may want to check the options before this point using this method.
