Grammars for finding LGR API terms by parsing strings.

Two versions:

  LibraryBrowser*.gf        -- uses Grammar + Lexicon (the RGL test lexicon)
  LargeLibraryBrowser*.gf   -- uses Grammar + Dictionary (the wide-coverage translation dictionary)

Two "user interfaces":

  GF cloud minibar: select grammar LibraryBrowser.pgf

  GF shell parsing in Eng and linearizing to API; reranking to get the "best" syntactic combinations

    > i LargeLibraryBrowserEng.gf
    > i LargeLibraryBrowserAPI.gf
    > p -lang=Eng "the agreement will be valid notwithstanding the previous agreement" | rt -probs=../../translator/translate.probs | pt -number=1 | l -lang=API

    mkUtt ( mkS futureTense ( mkCl ( mkNP the_Quant agreement_N ) ( mkVP ( mkVP valid_A ) ( mkAdv notwithstanding_Prep ( mkNP the_Quant ( mkCN ( mkAP previous_A ) ( mkCN agreement_N ) ) ) ) ) ) )

The resulting expression can be used in any concrete syntax that imports a Syntax and Dictionary implementation.
By changing the content words (e.g. agreement_N --> (mkN "agreement")) one can import Paradigms instead of Dictionary.
