The work adopts Standard Theory and Principles and Parameters Theory to segment and instruct the computer system of the syntactic structure of the language through Prolog. Some hundred Yoruba words are coded to serve as lexicon or dictionary. Through the words, some syntactic rules are as well programmed.
