--Lars Hellan 22:41, 3 November 2013 (UTC) TypeGram - a typological grammar accommodating a number of verb argument structures cross-linguistically
The grammar is built on the LKB platform, and is in spirit much connected to the DELPH-IN consortium, but in practice differs from the grammars developed there in
- defining a type system directly applicable to (in principle) all languages
- defining all templates and labels in the Construction Labeling system (see Verbconstructions cross-linguistically - Introduction) as types available to grammars
- using a much simpler feature geometry then what is adopted in the 'Matrix' system ('HPSG Grammar Matrix')
- as a 'language neutral' test suite, it uses expressions close to what one finds in annotated gloss lines of actual language data; thus, all root lexemes are English roots, and no expression is overtly indexed as to which language(s) it may be instantiated in.
On the whole, it is to be regarded as an HPSG grammar, but primarily anchored in constructions rather than lexical items.
The following files can be consulted for a preview of the system:
The AVM format is presented in AVM_format (lecture notes from the LING1111 course taught at NTNU Spring semester 2009).
A test suite for the grammar, as designed by August 2009, is presented in TG test-suite Aug09
A web demo interface will be developed.
