- Added link to the Prasebook demo. The older demos are no longer labelled NEW. - Point to www.grammaticalframework.org instead of tournesol.cs.chalmers.se - Update links to www.cs.chalmers.se to new pages on www.cse.chalmers.se, since there is no working autmatic redirection. - got rid of some HTML clutter. - index.txt was out of sync with index.html. It is now even more out of sync.
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
