Salvic Grammatical Resources

The implementation of linguistically-based grammars for natural languages draws on a combination of engineering skills, sound grammatical theory, and software development tools. The goal the student projects is to develop resource grammars for selected Slavic languages depending on the linguistic background of the paticipants, based on the MATRIX Starter-Kit for rapid prototyping of LKB-compatible precision grammars within the DELPH-IN collaborative effort.
