“…Similar to common grammar-specific tools that are provided by grammar development environments, we propose a grammar-specific documentation technique (which ought to be integrated into the grammar development environments, as also suggested by Erbach and Uszkoreit (1990), Erbach (1992)).…”

“…The described documentation method is a powerful tool. Besides the copying task, it can be exploited in various other ways, both to further the readibility of the documentation and to support the task of grammar writing (see also the suggestions by Erbach (1992) Snapshots Grammar documentation is much easier to read if pictures of c-and f-structures illustrate the analyses of example sentences. XLE supports the generation of snapshot postscript files, displaying trees and f-structures, which can be included in a LaTeX document.…”

This paper addresses the documentation of large-scale grammars. 1 We argue that grammar implementation differs from ordinary software programs: the concept of modules, as known from software engineering, cannot be transferred directly to grammar implementations, due to grammar-specific properties. These properties also put special constraints on the form of grammar documentation. To fulfill these constraints, we propose an XML-based, grammar-specific documentation technique.

“…As advocated by Erbach (1992), grammar engineering needs "tools for testing the grammar with respect to consistency, coverage, overgeneration and accuracy". These characteristics may be taken into account by different interacting software.…”

In this paper, we present an open-source parsing environment (Tübingen Linguistic Parsing Architecture, TuLiPA) which uses Range Concatenation Grammar (RCG) as a pivot formalism, thus opening the way to the parsing of several mildly context-sensitive formalisms. This environment currently supports tree-based grammars (namely Tree-Adjoining Grammars (TAG) and Multi-Component TreeAdjoining Grammars with Tree Tuples (TT-MCTAG)) and allows computation not only of syntactic structures, but also of the corresponding semantic representations. It is used for the development of a tree-based grammar for German.
