\newpage

|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Do you like programming challenges?
|
|
\item Are you interested in how your language really works?
|
|
\item Would you like to try and build a computational grammar for your language,
|
|
and make it available as a part of an international open-source
|
|
programming effort?
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Then you should consider attending the GF Resource Grammar Summer School
|
|
in Gothenburg on 17-28 August 2009.
|
|
|
|
The GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar
|
|
resource that currently covers 12 languages. It has been created in
|
|
a collaborative effort using the GF (Grammatical Framework) grammar formalism.
|
|
The Summer School aims to boost the extension of the library to new languages.
|
|
|
|
Particularly in focus are the missing 12 of the 23 official languages of the
|
|
European Union: \textit{Czech, Dutch,
|
|
Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian,
|
|
Maltese, Portuguese, Slovak, and Slovenian}. There is also more work to
|
|
be done on Polish and Romanian.
|
|
Any other languages chosen by the participants are also welcome.
|
|
Good knowledge of the language is essential, but you don't need to be a
|
|
native speaker.
|
|
|
|
The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology
|
|
and basic syntax of each language. It can be used for parsing,
|
|
generation, translation, multilingual web pages,
|
|
speech recognition, dialogue systems, language teaching, morphological
|
|
analysis, software localization, and lots of other things.
|
|
Grammars written in GF can be converted to many different formats.
|
|
The library is licensed under LGPL.
|
|
|
|
In the summer school, each language will be implemented by one or two students
|
|
working together. A morphology implementation will be credited
|
|
as a Chalmers University
|
|
course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation
|
|
will be worth more. The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the
|
|
morphology, and 3-6 months for the whole grammar.
|
|
|
|
Participation in the summer school is free.
|
|
Registration is via the courses's Google group,
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
The registration deadline is 15 June 2009. An on-line course on GF (recommended,
|
|
but not compulsory) starts on 20 April.
|
|
|
|
Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a
|
|
GF programming contest in May.
