One of the main ideas of
|
|
[GF ..]
|
|
is the use of libraries in grammar writing, in a way familiar
|
|
from software engineering. In this way, large grammars can
|
|
be built in cooperation, and old grammars or parts of them
|
|
can be reused in new grammars. The slides
|
|
[Grammars as Software Libraries resource-1.0/doc/gslt-sem-2006.html]
|
|
give some introduction to this idea.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==The resource grammar library==
|
|
|
|
This library covers basic linguistic structures of
|
|
different languages.
|
|
|
|
[Version 1.2 resource-1.0/doc] released 22 December 2006
|
|
(enhanced version of 1.0).
|
|
Covers Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian,
|
|
Russian, Spanish, and Swedish, and to a smaller extent Arabic and Catalan.
|
|
|
|
Two older versions are also available:
|
|
[Version 0.9 resource/]
|
|
and
|
|
[Version 0.6 resource-0.6/].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
==The prelude library==
|
|
|
|
The [prelude prelude/]
|
|
library gives utility functions for different GF applications:
|
|
|
|
[Precedence resource-1.0/doc/gfdoc/Precedence.html]. Utilities for
|
|
formal languages: precedence levels, associatives, infixes.
|
|
|
|
[Predef resource-1.0/doc/gfdoc/Predef.html]. Type signatures
|
|
of predefined (hard-coded) functions.
|
|
|
|
[Prelude resource-1.0/doc/gfdoc/Prelude.html]. Generic utilities
|
|
for strings, tables, records, booleans.
