<H2>Book description</H2>
<P>
Grammars of natural languages are complex systems, and their
computer implementation requires both programming skills and
linguistic knowledge, especially when dealing with other languages
than English. This book makes such tasks accessible for a wide
range of programmers. It introduces GF (Grammatical Framework),
which is a programming language designed for writing grammars, which
may moreover address several languages in parallel.
The book shows how to write grammars in GF and use them in applications
such as tourist phrasebooks, spoken dialogue systems, and natural
language interfaces. The examples and exercises address several
languages, and the readers are guided to look at their own languages
from the computational perspective.
</P>
<P>
With an emphasis on good engineering, the book promotes modularity
and division of labour - in particular, the use of libraries. It
introduces the GF Resource Grammar Library, which currently addresses
16 languages. This number is constantly growing due to contributions
from the international GF community. The library makes it painless to
build applications and to port them to new languages. The book
introduces a wide range of such applications, which run on platforms
ranging from web servers to mobile phones. But the book also gives
guidance for those readers who want to understand the underlying
linguistics and implement resource grammars for new languages.
</P>
<P>
The book starts with a hands-on tutorial, continues with a selection
of advanced topics, and ends with a complete reference manual
of GF. Requiring very little background knowledge, it is accessible
for second-year students that have experience with computers and an
interest for languages. At the same time, its novel and advanced
material makes it interesting for senior researchers in computer science,
linguistics, and related fields.
