<h2>About</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Grammatical Framework (GF), <a href="http://www.grammaticalframework.org/">grammaticalframework.org</a>, is a multilingual grammar formalism
|
|
based on the idea of a shared abstract syntax and mappings between the abstract syntax and
|
|
concrete languages. GF has hundreds of users all over the world.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL) implements the morphology (inflection) and basic syntax
|
|
(phrase structure) of some 26 languages:
|
|
|
|
Bulgarian,
|
|
Catalan,
|
|
Chinese,
|
|
Danish,
|
|
Dutch,
|
|
English,
|
|
Finnish,
|
|
French,
|
|
German,
|
|
Hindi,
|
|
Interlingua,
|
|
Japanese,
|
|
Italian,
|
|
Latvian,
|
|
Nepali,
|
|
Norwegian bokmål,
|
|
Persian,
|
|
Polish,
|
|
Punjabi,
|
|
Romanian,
|
|
Russian,
|
|
Sindhi,
|
|
Spanish,
|
|
Swedish,
|
|
Thai, and
|
|
Urdu.
|
|
|
|
These resources are freely available as open-source software. More languages are under construction,
|
|
in both in-house and external projects (Greek and Maltese forthcoming by the summer school).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are constantly welcoming new languages, especially from new language families, as well as
|
|
EU languages not yet covered by the Resource Grammar Library
|
|
(Estonian, Lithuanian, Irish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, and Portuguese).
|
|
Learn more at the <a href="http://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/status.html">RGL status page</a>. The Summer School is an excellent place to get started with a new language.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This year's special theme of “Scaling up Grammar Resources” means
|
|
extending the existing resource grammars with the ultimate goal of
|
|
dealing with any text in the supported languages. Lexicon extension is
|
|
an obvious part of this work, but also new grammatical constructions
|
|
are of interest. Porting resources from other open-source approaches,
|
|
such as WordNets and Apertium, is one method of doing this. And
|
|
reciprocally, we want to make GF resources easily reusable in other
|
|
approaches.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<!-- p>
|
|
The Summer School also has tracks for those interesting in applications (e.g. web and
|
|
mobile applications, and embedded grammars in C, C++, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Python), as
|
|
well as a theory track (parsing, grammar compilation, statistical GF models).

The summer school will take place at the <a href="http://www.frauenwoerth.de/english/">Frauenwörth Monastery</a>,
|
|
on Frauenchiemsee island in Chiemsee lake, Bavaria, Germany (<a href="http://goo.gl/maps/uUnxN">map</a>).

<h2>Preliminary schedule</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3>First week (18-23 August):<br/>Introduction to GF and multilingual grammar programming</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Tutorial on using the GF resource grammar library for small applications</li>
|
|
<li>Tutorial on the GF programming language</li>
|
|
<li>Tutorial on how to write a miniature resource grammar (morphology, paradigms, syntax)</li>
|
|
<li>Tutorial on complexity aspects, grammar compilation, portable grammar format</li>
|
|
<li>Tutorial on using new GF-tools like Eclipse IDE and GF Cloud</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tutorials will be given in morning sessions; supervised exercises in the
|
|
afternoon will make the attendants familiar with programming in GF.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Second week (25-30 August):<br/>Advanced work in specialized tracks</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Resource Grammar track: large-scale grammar implementation for a new language</li>
|
|
<li>Application track: web applications, ontologies</li>
|
|
<li>Theory track: type theory, parsing, compiler issues</li>
|
|
<li>Hybrid systems: connection with statistical methods</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the mornings, each day is dedicated to a special track, with plenary
|
|
talks attended by all participants.
|
|
For the afternoons we want to organize group work on the various tracks,
|
|
and have the participants choose which group they join. On the last day,
|
|
results of these groups will be presented to all participants.
