Abstract [Objective] This paper explores the theoretical foundation and practical experience of buidling a computational Chinese grammar system. [Methods] This study discussed the development process of the Mandarin Grammar Online (ManGO), an Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) system with Minimal Recursion Semantics. It built the lexicon and hierarchy rules for the idiosyncratic structures of the Chinese grammar. [Results] The successful development of the ManGO system showed that the HPSG was an ideal theoretical framework for the Chinese computational grammar applications. [Limitations] ManGO was still underdeveloped, and it was not able to examine this system’s coverage with large-scale natural language data. [Conclusions] ManGO connects the theories of formal and computational linguistics, therefore, it becomes the foundation to develop large scale resource grammar.
