GF has hundreds of users all over the world. +</p> +<p> +The GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL) implements the morphology (inflection) and basic syntax +(phrase structure) of some 26 languages: + +Bulgarian, +Catalan, +Chinese, +Danish, +Dutch, +English, +Finnish, +French, +German, +Hindi, +Interlingua, +Japanese, +Italian, +Latvian, +Nepali, +Norwegian bokmål, +Persian, +Polish, +Punjabi, +Romanian, +Russian, +Sindhi, +Spanish, +Swedish, +Thai, and +Urdu. + +These resources are freely available as open-source software. More languages are under construction, +in both in-house and external projects (Greek and Maltese forthcoming by the summer school). +</p> +<p> +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 <a href="http://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/status.html">RGL status page</a>. The Summer School is an excellent place to get started with a new language. +</p> +<p> +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. +</p> +<!-- p> +The Summer School also has tracks for those interesting in applications (e.g. web and +mobile applications, and embedded grammars in C, C++, Haskell, Java, JavaScript, Python), as +well as a theory track (parsing, grammar compilation, statistical GF models). +</p --> + +<h2 id="schedule">Schedule</h2> + +<h3>First week (18-23 August):<br/>Introduction to GF and multilingual grammar programming</h3> +<ul> + <li>Tutorial on using the GF resource grammar library for small applications</li> + <li>Tutorial on the GF programming language</li> + <li>Tutorial on how to write a miniature resource grammar (morphology, paradigms, syntax)</li> + <li>Tutorial on complexity aspects, grammar compilation, portable grammar format</li> + <li>Tutorial on using new GF-tools like Eclipse IDE and GF Cloud</li> +</ul> + +<p> +Tutorials will be given in morning sessions; supervised exercises in the +afternoon will make the attendants familiar with programming in GF. +</p> + +<h3>Second week (25-30 August):<br/>Advanced work in specialized tracks</h3> +<ul> + <li>Resource Grammar track: large-scale grammar implementation for a new language</li> + <li>Application track: web applications, ontologies</li> + <li>Theory track: type theory, parsing, compiler issues</li> + <li>Hybrid systems: connection with statistical methods</li> +</ul> + +<p> +In the mornings, each day is dedicated to a special track, with plenary +talks attended by all participants. +For the afternoons we want to organize group work on the various tracks, +and have the participants choose which group they join.
