Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar resource
that currently covers 12 languages. The Summer School is a part of a
collaborative effort to extend the library to all of the 23 official EU languages. 
Also other languages chosen by the participants can be covered. 

Do you like programming? Are you interested in how your language really works?
Would you be prepared to try and build a computational grammar for your
language, and make it available as a part of an international open-source
programming effort? Then you should consider attending the GF Resource Grammar
Summer School in Gothenburg on 17-28 August 2009.

The GF Resource Grammar Library is an open-source computational grammar resource
that currently covers 12 languages. The Summer School is a part of a
collaborative effort to extend the library to all of the 23 official EU
languages. Also other languages chosen by the participants can be covered.

The linguistic coverage of the library includes the inflectional morphology and
basic syntax of each language. It can be used in GF applications and also ported
to other formats. It can also be used for building other linguistic resources,
such as morphological lexica and parsers.

The library is licensed under LGPL.

In the summer school, each language will be implemented by one or two students
working together. A morphology implementation will be credited as a Chalmers
course worth 7.5 ETCS points; adding a syntax implementation will be worth more.
The estimated total work load is 1-2 months for the morphology, and 3-6 months
for the whole grammar.

Participation in the summer school is free. Registration is done via the
courses's Google group,

 http://groups.google.com/group/gf-resource-school-2009/

The registration deadline is 15 June 2009.

Some travel grants will be available. They are distributed on the basis of a GF
programming contest in April and May.
