Abstract

The Grammar Development Environment (GDE) is a powerful software tool designed to help a linguist or grammarian experiment with and develop large natural language grammars. (It is also, however, being used to help teach students on courses in computational linguistics). This report describes the grammatical formalism employed by the GDE, and contains detailed instructions on how to use the system.

Source code for a Common Lisp version of the software is available from the University of Edinburgh Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute.
