How to extend the recognition of an input language

The file gool.recognizer.xxx defines a visitor, which travels the xxx input (abstract), and produces its GOOL representation (abstract).

You also need to define a visitor, which travels the xxx input (abstract), and produces its GOOL representation (abstract). This is done by gool.recognizer.xxx.
