# Grammatical Framework (GF)
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/GrammaticalFramework/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)
