Grammatical Framework Quick Start

- - - -This Quick Start shows a few examples of how GF can be used. -We assume that you have downloaded and installed GF, so that -the command gf works for you. See download and install -instructions here. - -

Want to try without downloading?

- -Using GF translation with an existing grammar. - -

- -Writing GF grammars in the cloud, without installing GF. - - - - -

Using GF for translation and generation

- -When you have downloaded and installed GF: -

Copy the files -Food.gf, -FoodEng.gf, and -FoodIta.gf. -Or go to GF/examples/tutorial/food/, if you have downloaded the -GF sources. - -
Start GF with the shell command (without the prompt $) -
```
-  $ gf FoodIta.gf FoodEng.gf
-
```
-Alternatively, start GF with gf and give the GF command import FoodIta.gf FoodEng.gf. - -
Translation. Try your first translation by giving the GF command -
```
-  parse "this cheese is very very Italian" | linearize
-
```
-Notice that the parser accept the tabulator for word completion. - -
Generation. Random-generate sentences in two languages: -
```
-  generate_random | linearize
-
```
- -
Other commands. Use the help command -
```
-  help
-
```
-
More examples. Go to GF/examples/phrasebook or some other -subdirectory of GF/examples/. Or try a resource grammar by, for instance, -
```
-  import alltenses/LangEng.gfo alltenses/LangGer.gfo
-
-  parse -lang=Eng "I love you" | linearize -treebank
-
```
-The resource grammars are found relative to the value of GF_LIB_PATH, which -you may have to set; see here for instructions. - - - -

- - - -

Grammar development

- -Add words to the Food -grammars and try the above commands again. For instance, add the following lines: -

-  Bread : Kind ;          -- in Food.gf
-  Bread = {s = "bread"} ; -- in FoodEng.gf
-  Bread = {s = "pane"} ;  -- in FoodIta.gf
-

-and start GF again with the same command. Now you can even translate -this bread is very Italian. - -To lear more on GF commands and -grammar development, go to the one of the tutorials: -

GF Tutorial: older, more programmer-oriented -
GF Resource Tutorial: newer, more linguist-oriented -

-To learn about how GF is used for easily writing grammars for 16 languages, consult the -

GF Resource Grammar Library. -

- - - -

Run-time grammars and web applications

- -GF has its own "machine language", PGF (Portable Grammar Format), -which is recommended for use in applications at run time. To produce a PGF file from -the two grammars above, do -

-  gf -make FoodIta.gf FoodEng.gf
-  wrote Food.pgf
-

-You can use this in Haskell and Java programs, and also on web services, such as -

the - minibar - fridge magnets -

- -The quickest way to provide a GF web service is to start GF with the -server option: -

-  $ gf -server
-  This is GF version 3.3
-  Built on linux/i386 with ghc-7.0, flags: interrupt server cclazy
-  Document root = /usr/local/share/gf-3.3/www
-  Starting HTTP server, open http://localhost:41296/ in your web browser.
-

-You can view it locally by pointing your -browser to the URL shown. You can add your own .pgf grammar to the service by -copying it over to the documentRoot directory. Just push "reload" in -your browser after each such update. - -

- -To build more customized web application, consult the -developer wiki. - - -
