Joint Grammar Development by Linguists and Computer Scientists
Michael Maxwell, Anne David · University Libraries (University of Maryland) · 2008
For languages with inflectional morphology, development of a morphological parser can be a bottleneck to further development. We focus on two difficulties: first, finding people with expertise in both computer programming and the linguistics of a particular language, and second, the short lifetime of software such as parsers. We describe a methodology to split parser building into two tasks: descriptive grammar development, and formal grammar development. The two grammars are combined into a single document using Literate Programming. The formal
