GF Parallel Resource Grammars and Russian
نویسنده
چکیده
A resource grammar is a standard library for the GF grammar formalism. It raises the abstraction level of writing domainspecific grammars by taking care of the general grammatical rules of a language. GF resource grammars have been built in parallel for eleven languages and share a common interface, which simplifies multilingual applications. We reflect on our experience with the Russian resource grammar trying to answer the questions: how well Russian fits into the common interface and where the line between languageindependent and language-specific should be drawn.

Building and Using a Russian Resource Grammar in GF
Grammatical Framework (GF) [5] is a grammar formalism for describing formal and natural languages. An application grammar in GF is usually written for a restricted language domain, e.g. to map a formal language to a natural language. A resource grammar, on the other hand, aims at a complete description of a natural languages. The language-independent grammar API (Application Programmer’s Interf...
متن کاملLinguistic Issues in Language Technology – LiLT
The GF Resource Grammar Library is a set of natural language grammars implemented in GF (Grammatical Framework). These grammars are in a strong sense parallel: they are built upon a common abstract syntax, i.e. a common tree structure. Individual languages are obtained via compositional mappings from abstract syntax trees to feature structures specific to each language. The grammar defines, for...
متن کاملModular Grammar Engineering in GF
The Grammatical Framework GF is a grammar formalism designed for multilingual grammars. A multilingual grammar has a shared representation, called abstract syntax, and a set of concrete syntaxes that map the abstract syntax to different languages. A GF grammar consists of modules, which can share code through inheritance, but which can also hide information to achieve division of labour between...
متن کاملAn implementation of a Latvian resource grammar in Grammatical Framework
This paper describes an open-source Latvian resource grammar implemented in Grammatical Framework (GF), a programming language for multilingual grammar applications. GF differentiates between concrete grammars and abstract grammars: translation among concrete languages is provided via abstract syntax trees. Thus the same concrete grammar is effectively used for both language analysis and langua...
متن کاملThesis for the Degree of Licentiate of Philosophy
This thesis describes a number of practical experiments rather than theoretical investigations in the area of natural language processing. The basis for the work presented is Grammatical Framework (GF). It is a very complex system, which comprises among other things a grammar formalism based on type theory and its implementation written in Haskell. GF is intended for high-quality machine transl...
