Achievements of the Sussex NLP Group
  + Pioneering work in the use and description of corpora for NLP
    research, pioneering work in robust and probabilistic parsing.
  + Design of GPSG, one of the two most influential grammar formalisms
    in 1980s NLP research.
  + Development of innovative tools to support large-scale grammar and
    lexicon construction.
  + Establishment of many of the key results relating to the
    complexity of the various widely used mildly context-sensitive
    grammar formalisms.
  + Design of DATR, probably the most widely used lexical knowledge
    representation language at the present time.
  + Advances in the descriptive capacity and formal semantics of
    feature logics.
  + Practical results in the area of message understanding that are
    demonstrably on a par with the best US work in this area.
  + Original research on the use of declarative formalisms for
    computational phonology and computational morphology.
  + Definition of a precise taxonomic scheme for specifying the
    surface and underlying grammatical structure of naturally
    occurring English sentences. The electronic SUSANNE Corpus, which
    exemplifies its application, was first released in 1992 and is now
    in worldwide use.
