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 two aspects of grammars:
|
|
|
|
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
|
|
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
|
|
properties of expressions)
