nltk.CFG.__init__¶

CFG.__init__(start, productions, calculate_leftcorners=True)[source]¶

Create a new context-free grammar, from the given start state and set of ``Production``s.

Parameters:	start (Nonterminal) – The start symbol productions (list(Production)) – The list of productions that defines the grammar calculate_leftcorners (bool) – False if we don’t want to calculate the leftcorner relation. In that case, some optimized chart parsers won’t work.
