Language Engineering in Grammatical Framework (GF)

This book describes a number of practical experimentsrather than theoretical investigations in the area ofnatural language processing. The basis for the workpresented is Grammatical Framework (GF) - a complexand powerful system, which comprises, among otherthings, a grammar formalism based on type theory andits implementation written in Haskell. It is also apowerful language processor that provides aconvenient framework for various multilingualapplications. GF is intended for high-quality machinetranslation (of Interlingua type) in sub-languagedomains.

Klappentext
This book describes a number of practical experiments rather than theoretical investigations in the area of natural language processing. The basis for the work presented is Grammatical Framework (GF) - a complex and powerful system, which comprises, among other things, a grammar formalism based on type theory and its implementation written in Haskell. It is also a powerful language processor that provides a convenient framework for various multilingual applications. GF is intended for high-quality machine translation (of Interlingua type) in sub-language domains.
