public static Grammar CreatePhonePhrase()
{
// Create alternatives for person names, locations, devices, and pronouns.
Choices personChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"Anne", "James", "Mary", "Sam"});
Choices locationChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"home", "work"});
Choices deviceChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"home", "work", "cell"});
Choices pronounChoice = new Choices(new string[] {"his", "her"});
// Create a phrase for the receiving device, which optionally contains the word "phone".
GrammarBuilder devicePhrase = new GrammarBuilder(pronounChoice);
devicePhrase.Append(deviceChoice);
devicePhrase.Append("phone", 0, 1);
// Create alternatives for phrases specifying a device or a location.
GrammarBuilder atLocation = new GrammarBuilder("at");
atLocation.Append(locationChoice);
GrammarBuilder onDevice = new GrammarBuilder("on");
onDevice.Append(devicePhrase);
Choices howChoice = new Choices(new GrammarBuilder[] {atLocation, onDevice});
// Build the final phrase.
GrammarBuilder callWho = new GrammarBuilder("Call");
callWho.Append(personChoice);
callWho.Append(howChoice);
// Create the Grammar object.
Grammar callGrammar = new Grammar(callWho);
callGrammar.Name = "Call Grammar";
return callGrammar;
