According to the original chart parsing algorithm, a sentence is parsed in a strict left-to-right order. The modified chart parsing algorithm proposed in this paper breaks the strictness. With the proposed algorithm, a sentence is parsed in a random order. Conventional left-to-right parsing is also possible, since left-to-right parsing is a special case of random-order parsing. The proposed parsing algorithm is an extension of chart parsing algorithm and its control structure is very simple, so that it is easy to implement the algorithm.
