NAME

           accept_check
          - Check whether a grammar accept / reject given word sequences

SYNOPSIS

       accept_check [-t] [-s spname] [-v] {prefix}

DESCRIPTION

       accept_check is a tool to check whether a sentence can be accepted or rejected on a
       grammar (prefix.dfa and prefix.dict). The sentence should be given from standard input.
       You can do a batch check by preparing all test sentence at each line of a text file, and
       give it as standard input of accept_check.

       This tool needs .dfa, .dict and .term files. You should convert a written grammar file to
       generate them by mkdfa.

       A sentence should be given as space-separated word sequence. It may be required to add
       head / tail silence word like sil, depending on your grammar. And should not contain a
       short-pause word.

       When a word belongs to various category in a grammar, accept_check will check all the
       possible sentence patterns, and accept it if any of those is acceptable.

OPTIONS

        -t
          Use category name as input instead of word.

        -s  spname
          Short-pause word name to be skipped. (default: "sp")

        -v
          Debug output.

EXAMPLES

       An output for "date" grammar:

          % echo '<s> NEXT SUNDAY </s>' | accept_check date
          Reading in dictionary...
          143 words...done
          Reading in DFA grammar...done
          Mapping dict item <-> DFA terminal (category)...done
          Reading in term file (optional)...done
          27 categories, 143 words
          DFA has 35 nodes and 71 arcs
          -----
          wseq: <s> NEXT SUNDAY </s>
          cate: NS_B (NEXT|NEXT) (DAYOFWEEK|DAYOFWEEK|DAY|DAY) NS_E
          accepted
