    Abstract

    The use of neural networks for integrated lin­guistic analysis may be profitable. This paper presents the first results of our research on that subject: a Hopfield model for syntactical analy­sis. We construct a neural network as an imple­mentation of a bounded push-down automaton, which can accept context-free languages with lim­ited center-embedding. The network's behavior can be predicted a priori, so the presented the­ory can be tested. The operation of the network as an implementation of the acceptor is provably correct. Furthermore we found a solution to the problem of spurious states in Hopfield models: we use them as dynamically constructed repre­sentations of sets of states of the implemented acceptor. The so-called neural-network acceptor we propose, is fast but large.
