SUO: Re: RE: Link Grammar and Parser - RRGs
The link to MITECS existed and was live when I posted it (at least just
before I posted it). It no longer exists. It used to say words to the
effect "abstracts are available to the general public. Articles are
available by subscription." When I read the Woolford article it seemed
more like an article than an abstract. Perhaps their 'abstracts only'
filter wasn't working for some reason. It would appear that MIT has taken
down the site, and made the whole thing only available by subscription.
It's still listed on google (as well as in my history file, and a number of
other places on the net), but no longer exists. (Give google keywords
"woolford" "relations" -- gives link to 'not found on this server'). Too
bad.
Check out

You can get a 3 day trial subscription for $3.00, or a 1 year basic
subscription $30 for students or retired, $60 for those in their active
earning years.
Best,
