It has been created in +a collaborative effort using the GF (Grammatical Framework) grammar formalism. +The Summer School aims to boost the extension of the library to new languages. + +Particularly in focus are the missing 12 of the 23 official languages of the +European Union: \textit{Czech, Dutch, +Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian, +Maltese, Portuguese, Slovak, and Slovenian}. There is also more work to +be done on Polish and Romanian. +Any other languages chosen by the participants are also welcome. +Good knowledge of the language is essential, but you don't need to be a +native speaker. + +The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology +and basic syntax of each language. It can be used for parsing, +generation, translation, multilingual web pages, +speech recognition, dialogue systems, language teaching, morphological +analysis, software localization, and lots of other things. +Grammars written in GF can be converted to many different formats. +The library is licensed under LGPL. + +In the summer school, each language will be implemented by one or two students +working together. A morphology implementation will be credited +as a Chalmers University +course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation +will be worth more. The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the +morphology, and 3-6 months for the whole grammar. + +Participation in the summer school is free. +Registration is via the courses's Google group, + +\begin{verbatim} + http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/ +\end{verbatim} +The registration deadline is 15 June 2009. An on-line course on GF (recommended, +but not compulsory) starts on 20 April. + +Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a +GF programming contest in May. + +For more information, see the Google Group and the Summer School web page, + +\begin{verbatim} + http://digitalgrammars.com/gf/summerschool.html +\end{verbatim} + +% LaTeX2e code generated by txt2tags 2.4 (http://txt2tags.sf.net) +% cmdline: txt2tags summerschool-folder.txt +\end{document} |
