For the syntax of MoMo descriptions, please consult the textbook
A Web-based Course in Grammar Formalisms and Parsing. The syntax of
the logical languages of Chapter 2.4 is the syntax of MoMo.
Alternatively, you might want to start with the examples provided in
the file examples.mmp, which you can
download by clicking on the link. Note that ',' is used for conjunction
and ';' for disjunction in the MoMo syntax of RSRL. Don't forget to switch
to the 'Standard Semantics' (Options:Semantics:StandardSemantics in the
Graph Window of MoMo) to work with a semantics of the
descriptions that corresponds to the one we have introduced in class.
You may also change the settings of MoMo to Standard Semantics as the
default by setting the relevant Preferences (under Options:Preferences in the
NotePad Window).
