Popis: A method and apparatus are provided for automatically acquiring grammar fragments for recognizing and understanding fluently spoken language. Grammar fragments representing a set of syntactically and semantically similar phrases may be generated using three probability distributions: of succeeding words, of preceding words, and of associated call-types. The similarity between phrases may be measured by applying Kullback-Leibler distance to these three probability distributions. Phrases being close in all three distances may be clustered into a grammar fragment.
