About

-

-Grammatical Framework (GF), grammaticalframework.org, is a multilingual grammar formalism -based on the idea of a shared abstract syntax and mappings between the abstract syntax and -concrete languages. GF has hundreds of users all over the world. -

-

-The GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL) implements the morphology (inflection) and basic syntax -(phrase structure) of some 26 languages: - -Bulgarian, -Catalan, -Chinese, -Danish, -Dutch, -English, -Finnish, -French, -German, -Hindi, -Interlingua, -Japanese, -Italian, -Latvian, -Nepali, -Norwegian bokmål, -Persian, -Polish, -Punjabi, -Romanian, -Russian, -Sindhi, -Spanish, -Swedish, -Thai, and -Urdu. - -These resources are freely available as open-source software. More languages are under construction, -in both in-house and external projects (Greek and Maltese forthcoming by the summer school). -

-

-We are constantly welcoming new languages, especially from new language families, as well as -EU languages not yet covered by the Resource Grammar Library -(Estonian, Lithuanian, Irish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, and Portuguese). -Learn more at the RGL status page. The Summer School is an excellent place to get started with a new language. -

-

-This year's special theme of “Scaling up Grammar Resources” means -extending the existing resource grammars with the ultimate goal of -dealing with any text in the supported languages. Lexicon extension is -an obvious part of this work, but also new grammatical constructions -are of interest. Porting resources from other open-source approaches, -such as WordNets and Apertium, is one method of doing this. And -reciprocally, we want to make GF resources easily reusable in other -approaches. -
