Abstract

During the last couple of years, in the field of Natural Language Processing, UNL (i.e., Universal Networking Language) immense research activities have been witnessed. This paper illustrates UNLization of Punjabi Natural Language for UC-A1, UGO-A1, and AESOP-A1 with IAN (i.e., Interactive Analyzer) tool using X-Bar approach. This paper also discusses the UNLization process in depth, step-by-step with the help of tree diagrams and tables.
