Grammatical Framework Quick Start

+ +This Quick Start shows two examples of how GF can be used. +We assume that you have downloaded and installed GF, so that +the command gf works for you. + + + +

Translation and generation

+ +When you have downloaded and installed GF: + +

Copy the files +Paleolithic.gf, +PaleolithicEng.gf, and +PaleolithicIta.gf. + +

Start GF with the command +

+  gf PaleolithicIta.gf PaleolithicEng.gf
+

+ +

Translation. Try your first translation by giving the GF command +
```
+  t PaleolithicEng PaleolithicIta "the boy eats the snake"
+
```
+ +
Generation. Random-generate sentences in two languages: +
```
+  gr | l -multi
+
```
+ +
Grammar development. Add words to the Paleolithic +grammars and try the above commands again. For instance, add the following lines: +
```
+  Black : A ;             -- in Paleolithic.gf
+  Black = {s = "black"} ; -- in PaleolithicEng.gf
+  Black = {s = "nero"} ;  -- in PaleolithicIta.gf
+
```
+and start GF again with the same command. Now you can even translate +the boy eats the black snake. +

+To lear more on GF commands and +grammar development, go to the +New Grammarian's Tutorial. + + + +

Multilingual authoring

+ +This demo also requires the GUI package, which makes the command +jgf work for you. +

Download the file Letter.gfcm. +
Start the GF editor by the command +
```
+  jgf Letter.gfcm
+
```
+
When the editor window is open, select "Letter" from the "New" menu. +
Push the button "Random" in the lower end of the window. +
Move the pointer to some place in the text, e.g. to the first word (in any + of the languages), and click. The first word should now be highlighted and + a number of alternatives appear in the lower window part (a similar situation + is shown in the picture below). +
Double-click at some of the alternatives marked "ch ..." and observe how + the text changes in each of the languages. +

+See the Editor User Manual +for more information on how to use the +editor. To change the grammars, you should not edit Letter.gfcm, +which is low-level code generated by the GF grammar compiler. Instead, you +can edit the files in examples/letter in the GF grammar package, +and compile by using the script mkLetter.gfs in the same package. + +
