-The structure of each lecture will be the following:
-</P>
-<UL>
-<LI>ca. 75min lecture, going through the book
-<LI>ca. 15min work on computer, individually or in pairs
-</UL>
-
-<P>
-In order for this to work out, it is important that enough many
-have a working GF installation, including the directory
-<A HREF="../examples/tutorial"><CODE>examples/tutorial</CODE></A>. This directory is
-included in the Darcs version, as well as in the updated binary
-packages from 12 September.
-</P>
-<H1>Purpose</H1>
-<P>
-<A HREF="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~aarne/GF/">GF</A>
-(Grammatical Framework) is a grammar formalism, i.e. a special-purpose
-programming language for writing grammars. It is suitable for many
-natural language processing tasks, in particular,
-</P>
-<UL>
-<LI>multilingual applications
-<LI>systems where grammar-based components are needed for e.g.
- parsing, translation, or speech recognition
-</UL>
-
-<P>
-The goal of the course is to develop an understanding of GF and
-practical skills in using it.
-</P>
-<H1>Contents</H1>
-<P>
-The course consists of two modules. The first module is a one-week
-intensive course (during the first intensive week of GSLT), which
-is as such usable as a one-week intensive course for doctoral studies,
-if completed with a small course project.
-</P>
-<P>
-The second module is a larger programming project, written
-by each student (possibly working in groups) during the Autumn term.
-The projects are discussed during the second intensive week of GSLT
-(see <A HREF="http://www.gslt.hum.gu.se/courses/schedule.html">schedule</A>),
-and presented at a date that will be set later.
-</P>
-<P>
-The first module goes through the basics of GF, including
-</P>
-<UL>
-<LI>using the GF programming language
-<LI>writing multilingual grammars
-<LI>using the
- <A HREF="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~aarne/GF/lib/resource-1.0/doc/">GF resource grammar library</A>
-<LI>generating speech recognition systems from GF grammars
-<LI>using embedded grammars as components of software systems
-</UL>
-
-<P>
-The lectures follow a draft of GF book. It contains a heavily updated
-version os the
-<A HREF="http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~aarne/GF/doc/tutorial/gf-tutorial2.html">GF Tutorial</A>;
-thus the on-line tutorial is not adequate for this course. To get the course
-book, join the course mailing list.
-</P>
-<P>
-Those who just want to do the first module will write a simple application
-as their course work during and after the first intensive week.
-</P>
-<P>
-Those who continue with the second module will choose a more substantial
-project. Possible topics are
-</P>
-<UL>
-<LI>building a dialogue system by using GF
-<LI>implementing a multilingual document generator
-<LI>experimenting with synthetized multilingual tree banks
-<LI>extending the GF resource grammar library
-</UL>
-
-<H1>Prerequisites</H1>
-<P>
-Experience in programming. No earlier natural language processing
-or functional programming experience is necessary.
-</P>
-<P>
-The course is thus suitable both for GSLT and NGSLT students,
-and for graduate students in computer science.
-</P>
-<P>
-We will in particular welcome students from the Baltic countries
-who wish to build resources for their own language in GF.
