Context-free parsing
SYNTAX handles most classes of deterministic (unambiguous) grammars (LR, LALR, RLR) as well as general context-free grammars. The deterministic version has been used in operational contexts (e.g., Ada [The first tool-translator for the ADA language has been developed with SYNTAX by Pierre Boullier and others, as recalled in this [http://archive.adaic.com/standards/83lrm/html/lrm-FORE.html page on the history of ADA] .

INRIA, Rocquencourt, France, 1981.] ), and is currently used both in the domain of compilation [E.g., by the [http://www.inrialpes.fr/vasy VASY] team at
Contextual parsing
The current version of SYNTAX (version 6.0 beta) includes also parser generators for other formalisms, used for natural language processing as well as bio-informatics. These formalisms are context-sensitive formalisms (TAG, RCG) or formalisms that rely on context-free grammars and are extended thanks to attribute evaluation, in particular for natural language processing (LFG).
