Grammar Engineering I

This course offers an introduction to computational coding of grammatical information. The course includes an elementary introduction to general parsing and generating algorithms, and training in the use of a computational platform, such as LKB or XLE, applied to simple grammar fragments.

The objective is that the students can use a grammar engineering platform (like LKB or XLE) for the coding of elementary lexical, morphological and syntactic operations, and get an understanding of the computational linguistic assumptions underlying the coding and its processing.

Lectures, group instructions and laboratory work. More on assessment: Obligatory exercises must be approved before students are allowed take the exam. The size of the take-home exam depends partly on the subject, but is usually between 8-15 typed A4-pages (line spacing 1.5).
