Functional Lexing and Parsing</p></short>

<abstract>
<p>
This talk will describe a non-traditional functional approach
to the classical problems of lexing (breaking a stream of
characters into "words" or tokens) and parsing (identifying
tree structure in a stream of tokens based on a grammar,
e.g. for a programming language that needs to be compiled or
interpreted). The functional approach can clarify and organize
a number of algorithms that tend to be opaque in their
conventional imperative presentation. No prior background in
functional programming, lexing, or parsing is assumed.
