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...

Recently work on the grammar of spoken English has advanced through the use of large, general, and varied corpora of the language, including corpora of spoken discourse. Here I review the research that has been emerging from the availability of such corpora, much of it emphasizing the need for new ways of conceptualizing spoken grammar, to replace the traditional reliance on grammatical models ...

We present a deep computational Modern Greek grammar. The grammar is written in HPSG and is being developed in a multilingual context with MRS semantics, contributing to an open-source collection of software and linguistic resources with wide usage in research, education, and application building.

Here we describe the development of a re-usable, multi-purpose linguistic resource for Modern Greek: a deep computational Modern Greek Grammar. The grammar is written in the HPSG formalism and is being developed in a multilingual context with MRS semantics, contributing to an open-source repository of software and linguistic resources with wide usage in education, research, and application

We present a fairly complete grammar of interrogative and relative clauses in French, written in the formalism of Interaction Grammars. Interaction Grammars combine two key ideas: a grammar is viewed as a constraint system which is expressed through the notion of tree description, and the resource sensitivity of natural languages is used as a syntactic composition principle by means of a system...

Natural Language is highly ambiguous, on every level. This article describes a fast broadcoverage state-of-the-art parser that uses a carefully hand-written grammar and probabilitybased machine learning approaches on the syntactic level. It is shown in detail which statistical learning models based on Maximum-Likelihood Estimation (MLE) can support a highly developed linguistic grammar in the d...

Advertisement has long been used as a tool for informing and attracting audiences in different ways. This study aims at investigating the linguistic tools of advertisement in Persian on the basis of Halliday’s systemic-functional grammar theory. The data of this study were gathered from written and verbal commercial advertisements which were recorded and rewritten in order to investigate verbal...

This paper describes the current state of syntactic analysis of Estonian using Constraint Grammar, focusing mainly on the determination of syntactic functions. Constraint Grammar of Estonian was written in 1996-2000 at the University of Tartu. The author has developed its syntactic part.
