This may be a strange question, but having read in the latest issue of
BYTE about Machine Translation, I thought, why not express the source
language in yacc to resolve all ambiguities like "the can can be filled"
where "can" is noun or verb?

I realise the enormity of such a scheme, but I would
very much like to know if anybody has produced such a front end for
an MT device.

Thank you
