Abstract
This paper presents two approaches that identify which parts of an implemented
grammar are used and which parts are computationally inactive. Our results lead to the
following insights: even small grammars contain noise due to revised analyses, removing
superfluous types from a grammar may help to detect errors in the original grammar and
at least half of the types defined in the grammars we investigated do not play a role in the
computational process of the grammar.
