I'm not sure you could replicate Lojban's grammar in full as a link grammar, but it appears that you should be able to obtain at least as good results as in English. Some things would be simpler. If you don't delve into semantic issues (i.e. you accept any sentence that parses correctly even if it doesn't make much sense) then you would only need a dictionary with 120 entries or so, because all the words belonging to the same selmaho have identical syntax and so would have identical links. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
