Other Resources

• The Grammix CD Rom: A bootable CD Rom that contains the Trale system and implementations of grammars that cover the phenomena discussed in the course. In addition it contains German slides and the German text book and the Babel System.
• Grammar fragments: The grammar fragments that are also on the Grammix CD Rom.
• Standalone Version of Trale for Linux: If you run Linux and do not want to use Grammix, you may use this standalone system.
• The Babel System: An implementation of a German HPSG grammar and a parser. Babel is also part of the Grammix CD-Rom.
  (Danger! The analyses partly differ from those described in the course material. The system implements a linearization analysis.)
