Grammar building and Linguistic Analysis

Developing large scale computational grammars permits a precise documentation and analysis of natural language phenomena. In collaboration with Calligramme, Talaris has developed a grammar compiler (XMG, Extended Metagrammar) which supports the computational specification of large scale, multi-dimensional tree grammars([46] , [48] , [47] , [49] , [50] , [51] , [52] , [62] , [59] , [60] , [61] , [55] , [58] ). One long term application pursued by Talaris in the domain of computational linguistics is the development of a large scale Feature Based Lexicalised Tree Adjoining Grammar describing both the syntax and the semantics of French.
