Cour­se De­scrip­ti­on

Par­ti­ci­pants of this cour­se will learn how to im­ple­ment HPSG grammars using the TRALE sys­tem, which is cur­r­ent­ly used by va­rious re­se­ar­chers to de­ve­lop grammars for Ger­man, Da­nish, Per­si­an, Eng­lish, French, Po­lish, Mal­te­se, Ara­bic, and Man­da­rin Chi­ne­se.

The cour­se par­ti­ci­pants will work in lab ses­si­ons on grammars of Ger­man and mo­di­fy and ex­tend them. The grammars cap­tu­re mor­pho­lo­gi­cal, syn­tac­tic, and se­man­tic phe­no­me­na. Ad­van­ced par­ti­ci­pants can work on grammars for lan­guages of their choice.

Le­xi­cal ent­ries for in­di­vi­du­al verbs will be writ­ten and de­scrip­ti­ons of cer­tain verb clas­ses will be for­mu­la­ted, cons­traints for agree­ment (sub­ject verb agree­ment) are in­tro­du­ced into the grammar and ana­ly­zes for ad­juncts and com­ple­ments will be de­ve­lo­ped. Ge­ne­ra­liza­ti­ons over le­xi­cal ent­ries will be cap­tu­red by in­tro­du­cing le­xi­cal rules and clas­si­fy­ing le­xi­cal items and using ma­cros for the de­scrip­ti­on of le­xi­cal items.

Trale-​Download

If you have an Intel CPU, you may down­load the vir­tu­al ma­chi­ne Gram­mix, which con­tains the TRALE sys­tem (an ope­ra­ting sys­tem with vir­tua­liza­ti­on soft­ware), text book examp­le gra­mamrs, and the [incr TSDB()] sys­tem for in­dus­tri­al strength grammar pro­fi­ling. An al­ter­na­ti­ve is to use a Ver­si­on of TRALE di­rect­ly. Stu­dents of the Hum­boldt Uni­ver­si­ty are sug­gested to in­stall SICS­tus Pro­log and use Trale di­rect­ly. Plea­se fol­low the in­st­ruc­tions on the in­stal­la­ti­on page.
