Talk:Grammatical Framework (programming language)

the webalt link goes to a japanese web page that is definitenly not the webalt project. The EU page points to http://webalt.math.helsinki.fi/content/index_eng.html, but that has not been responsive to me. Probably the link should be deleted.

The first sentence says: "Grammatical Framework (GF) is a programming language for writing grammars of natural languages." However, at the top of https://www.grammaticalframework.org/ it says "..a special-purpose language for grammars, like YACC, Bison, Happy, BNFC, but not restricted to programming languages" (emphasis added). So what is it? 37.157.104.56 (talk) 23:05, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

GF, Grammatical Framework, is a programming language for multilingual grammar applications. It is

Don't worry if you don't know most of the references above - but if you do know at least one, it may help you to get a first idea of what GF is.
 * a special-purpose language for grammars, like YACC, Bison, Happy, BNFC, but not restricted to programming languages
 * a functional programming language, like Haskell, Lisp, OCaml, SML, Scheme, but specialized to grammar writing
 * a development platform for natural language grammars, like LKB, XLE, Regulus, but based on functional programming and type theory
 * a categorial grammar formalism, like ACG, CCG, but specialized for multilingual grammars,
 * a logical framework, like Agda, Coq, Isabelle, but equipped with concrete syntax in addition to logic
 * a platform for machine translation, like Moses, Apertium, but based on deep structural analysis (and usually applied for limited fragments of language).
