HPSG

HPSG (Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar) 

Stanford and Berkeley espouse this syntactic theory.
It is a "highly lexicalized, non-derivational generative grammar theory."
It is a type of phrase structure grammar, as oppsed to a dependency grammar (The syntactic trees I learned are dependency grammars).

sed one-liners

sed 's/ Телефон: /\t/' filename             # basic search and replace

sed 's/ [-] .*//' filename                       # put tricky chars in []

sed 's/\&amp/\&/' filename                  # example of escaped char

sed 's/.\{1\}/& /g' filename                   # insert 1 space between each char

sed 's/.\{2\}/& /g' filename                   # insert 2 spaces between each char

sed 's/\(.*\)\/word$/word\1/' filename     # search and replace with a captured pattern () on LHS and \1 on RHS

sed 's/word/&\n/' filename                   # search and replace insert a newline
sed '/^\s*$/d' filename                         # delete blank line
