# Grammatical Framework (GF)
The Grammatical Framework is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of:
- a special-purpose programming language
- a compiler of the language
- a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
- generation
- parsing
- translation
- type checking
- computation
- paraphrasing
- random generation
- syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
- multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
- semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic properties of expressions)
- grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
- embeddability in programs written in other languages (C, C++, Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
## Compilation and installation
The simplest way of installing GF from source is with the command:
```
cabal install
```
or:
```
stack install
```
For more information, including links to precompiled binaries, see the [download page](https://www.grammaticalframework.org/download/index.html).
## About this repository
On 2018-07-25, the monolithic [GF repository](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF)
was split in two:
1. [gf-core](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core) — the GF compiler, shell and runtimes
2. [gf-rgl](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl) — the resource grammar library
The former repository is now archived and no longer updated.
The split was performed using [this script](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/blob/30ae1b5a5f73513ac5825ca6712186ef8afe9fd4/split/run.sh)
and the output of that script is [here](https://gist.github.com/johnjcamilleri/a6c43ff61f15a9657b457ac94ab7db61).
