Abstract :
The present paper describes the linguistic components of a platform for building spoken language dialogue systems. The platform is being designed and implemented within the EU-language engineering project REWARD. The linguistic components mainly consist of a suite of general unification based natural language processing utilities and a window based Sub Grammar Design Tool which provides non-experts access to the utilities. The Sub Grammar Design Tool enables nonexpert users to implement sub grammars for speech understanding within a minimum of effort
