The userLangauge is the name of the concrete syntax that has a languageCode that matches the user's preferred language, as reported by the web browser. If no matching language code is found, the PGF service now sets userLanguage to the concrete syntax for English (e.g. FoodsEng) if present, and defaults to the first concrete syntax (e.g. FoodsAfr) only if English is not present in the grammar.
Grammatical Framework (GF)
The Grammatical Framework 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)
Compilation and installation
The simplest way of installing GF is with the command:
cabal install
