16 July
09:00-12:00, at the Institute of Computer Science (Goldschmidtstraße 7, Room "-1.101")
Note: Since the Institute of Computer Science is situated at the North Campus of Göttingen, we have organized taxi transfer to get there. We will meet for the taxi ride at the "Gänseliesel" at 08:30. Tutorial 1: Gerald Penn
Efficient Grammar Development in TRALE
This tutorial will not be an introduction to grammar development with
typed feature structures. Assuming a basic knowledge of that, we'll
instead make a quick survey of TRALE's syntax and then dive into how
to use those syntactic primitives effectively.
In linguistics, "effective" can imply a great many aesthetic
qualities for grammars, some of which we'll review. But this tutorial
will pay particular attention to the question of efficiency --- how
(and how not) to use the language to write grammars that run
quickly.
14:00 -15:30, Coffee Break, 16:00 -18:00, at the "Paulinerkirche" (Vortragsraum) Tutorial 2: Ivan Sag
Sign-Based Construction Grammar (SBCG) is a variety of HPSG
which, like GPSG, recognizes only mother-daughter structures.
This goal is achieved by drawing a fundamental distinction
between signs and local structures (constructs). Lexical rules
and grammar rules both find a home in SBCG as constructions
(constraints that define types of construct). This tutorial
provides a general overview of SBCG at its current stage of
development.
18:30 Internal meeting of the Cogeti network.
19:00 Gathering in the MaxL (see Restaurants page)
