Using Linguist's Assistant for Language Description and Translation
Stephen Beale · International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing · 2011
The Linguist’s Assistant (LA) is a practical computational paradigm for describing languages. LA seeks to specify in semantic representations a large subset of possible written communication. These semantic representations then become the starting point and organizing principle from which a linguist describes the linguistic surface forms of a language using LA's visual lexicon and grammatical rule development interface. The resulting computational description can then be used in our document authoring and translation applications.
