In this paper we present the design and the implementation of a Chinese spoken language dialogue system named EasyNav which is for Tsinghua University Campus Navigation. By analyzing the features and requirements of spoken language dialogue system , we design a rule-based language understanding procedure that is suitable to it . The syntactic parser applies the GLR algorithm to process the Context Free Grammar (CFG) , whose purpose is to extract features
of syntactic structure for use by the semantic parser. The syntactic grammar is designed for the trade-off between the coverage and the accuracy. The semantic parser matches sentence templates with syntactic constraints , so as to find speaker′s intention. The semantic parser resolves the ambiguity induced by the syntactic parser. The advantage of the design is that the system can be easy to construct and extend.
