About

Grammatical Framework (GF), grammaticalframework.org, 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. -

-

+

+

The GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL) implements the morphology (inflection) and basic syntax (phrase structure) of some 26 languages: @@ -73,24 +90,70 @@ Thai, and Urdu. These resources are freely available as open-source software. More languages are under construction, -in both in-house and external projects. -

-

-We are especially interested in EU languages not yet covered by the Resource Grammar Library, -namely: Estonian, Lithuanian, Irish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovene, Portuguese, Greek, and Maltese. -Learn more at the RGL status page. -Embedded grammars are parsing and generation programs compiled from GF grammars and usable as parts of programs written in other languages: Haskell, Java, and JavaScript. -

+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 RGL status page. The Summer School is an excellent place to get started with a new language. +

+

+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. +
