What is GF?

- -The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type -theory. It consists of - -The compiler reads -GF grammars from user-provided files, -and the generic grammar processor performs -various tasks with the grammars: - -GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars: - -GF provides an easy way to experiment with grammars written in -different formats, including the ubiquitous BNF and EBNF formats. -The GF compilation chart gives a -summary of the supported input and output formats (the nodes in ellipses). - -
- -For instance, if you want to create a finite-state automaton -in the HTK SLF format (to use for speech recognition), all you have to do -is to write an EBNF grammar in a file foo.ebnf and type -
-  echo "pg -printer=slf" | gf foo.ebnf

Examples and demos

- -Numeral -translator: recognizes and generates -numbers from 1 to 999,999 in 80 languages. -(The link goes to a live applet, which requires -Java 1.5 plugin. -Here is an example, which does -not require the plugin.) - -

- -Letter -editor: -write simple letters in English, Finnish, -French, Swedish, and Russian with a few mouse clicks. - -

- -Demo film -of a multimodal dialogue system built with embedded grammars. - -

- -Example grammars used in the -GF tutorial. - -

- -Resource grammar library: -basic structures of ten languages -(Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, -Italian, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish). -Resource grammars can be used as libraries for writing GF -applications, -but they can also be useful for language training. - - - -

Executable programs

- -GF is available for -several platforms: Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Sun OS. -To get GF, go to the -Download Page. - - -

Quick start

- -When you have downloaded and installed GF, you can try one of the -quick start examples. - - - -

Source code

- -The main part of GF is written in -Haskell. - -

- -The platform-independent graphical user interface is written in -Java. - - -

- -The Download Page -gives links to source and binary packages, as well as -information on compiler requirements. - -

- -The publicly accessible - -Darcs repository -has the latest sources and documents. - -
