In computer science, a left corner parser is a type of chart parser used for parsing context-free grammars. It combines the top-down and bottom-up approaches of parsing. The name derives from the use of the left corner of the grammar's production rules.
An early description of a left corner parser is "A Syntax-Oriented Translator" by Peter Zilahy Ingerman.[1][2]
Readable and realistic (for that time) advice for DIY compiler construction, in archaic terminology. Uses a full backtracking LC parser improved by FIRST sets.
