The GF Resource Grammar Library is the standard library for Grammatical Framework.
|
|
It covers the morphology and basic syntax of currently 25 languages.
|
|
|
|
This document contains the most important parts of the GF Resource Grammar API,
|
|
as needed by a GF application programmer.
|
|
It has been machine-generated from the source files; there are links
|
|
to the relevant source files, which give more information. Some of the files have
|
|
not yet been prepared so that the machine generated documentation has the nicest
|
|
possible format.
|
|
|
|
The main contents are:
|
|
- [Chapter 1 #toc2]: categories, with links to the functions for
|
|
constructing trees in them.
|
|
- [Chapter 2 #toc5]: syntactic construction functions, with cross-links and
|
|
examples.
|
|
- [Chapter 3 #toc83]: morphological paradigms.
|
|
- [Chapter 4 #toc108]: additional libraries.
|
|
- [Chapter 5 #toc114]: how to "browse" the library by
|
|
loading the grammars into the ``gf`` command editor.
|
|
- [Chapter 6 #toc115]: a brief example of how application grammars can
|
|
use the resource modules.
|
|
- [Detailed table of contents #toc116].
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other relevant documents:
|
|
- [More modules gfdoc/sources.html]: extra modules, dictionaries, and
|
|
the internals of the resource grammar
|
|
- [The RGL Status Document ./status.html]: the current status of different languages
|
|
and the authors of each grammar
|
|
- [RGL Source Browser ./browse]: look up functions and their source code
|
|
- [Resource Grammar Tutorial http://www.grammaticalframework.org/doc/gf-lrec-2010.pdf]
|
|
as presented in LREC-2010.
