Also brought index.txt and index.html back in sync. (It looks like someone updated index.html instead of updating index.txt and regenerating index.html.)

<H2>Book description</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Grammars of natural languages are complex systems, and their
|
|
computer implementation requires both programming skills and
|
|
linguistic knowledge, especially when dealing with other languages
|
|
than English. This book makes such tasks accessible for a wide
|
|
range of programmers. It introduces GF (Grammatical Framework),
|
|
which is a programming language designed for writing grammars, which
|
|
may moreover address several languages in parallel.
|
|
The book shows how to write grammars in GF and use them in applications
|
|
such as tourist phrasebooks, spoken dialogue systems, and natural
|
|
language interfaces. The examples and exercises address several
|
|
languages, and the readers are guided to look at their own languages
|
|
from the computational perspective.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
With an emphasis on good engineering, the book promotes modularity
|
|
and division of labour - in particular, the use of libraries. It
|
|
introduces the GF Resource Grammar Library, which currently addresses
|
|
16 languages. This number is constantly growing due to contributions
|
|
from the international GF community. The library makes it painless to
|
|
build applications and to port them to new languages. The book
|
|
introduces a wide range of such applications, which run on platforms
|
|
ranging from web servers to mobile phones. But the book also gives
|
|
guidance for those readers who want to understand the underlying
|
|
linguistics and implement resource grammars for new languages.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
The book starts with a hands-on tutorial, continues with a selection
|
|
of advanced topics, and ends with a complete reference manual
|
|
of GF. Requiring very little background knowledge, it is accessible
|
|
for second-year students that have experience with computers and an
|
|
interest for languages. At the same time, its novel and advanced
|
|
material makes it interesting for senior researchers in computer science,
|
|
linguistics, and related fields.
