A possible approach to the classification of gravitational-wave chirp signals is presented. This approach is theory neutral and parametric in the spirit of the parameterized post-Newtonian (PPN) approach to classifying alternate theories of gravity. Also similar to the PPN approach, all possible chirps are parameterized in terms of their deviation from the chirps predicted by general relativity (GR). Separation of theoretical from astrophysical parameters is considered. The evolution of the phase, amplitude, and shape of the quasi-sinusoidal chirp is parameterized. The relation of these directly observable parameters to the determination of the time-varying eccentricity, inclination and orientation of the source system during the inspiral is considered. The possibility of determining the mass, spin, angular momentum and distance of the source system is also considered.
