“…GF is a multilingual development toolkit that has one abstract syntax and several parallel concrete syntaxes, one for each language [14]. The abstract syntax constitutes a finite set of abstract categories with a corresponding finite set of abstract functions to implement the categories whereas the parallel concrete syntaxes are parallel multiple context-free grammars (PMCFG) [15]. The definition of PMCFG is given by a 5-tuple equation as shown in Definition 1 below.…”

Monologue grammar development for under-resourced languages is very slow and laborious (involves creating rules to generate the computational grammar to enable analysis and synthesis of the language(s) in question). However, the need for computational grammar continues to soar in this technology-driven economy for information synthesis and analysis. This paper aims to set up an experiment in the grammatical framework (GF), to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the Bantu parameterized grammar to bootstrap a new grammar for Swahili. The goal is to investigate how this approach of bootstrapping grammar in a multilingual environment is effective and efficient in reducing the development effort. The bootstrapping approach uses the GF morphology-driven approach to develop portable and unique segments of Swahili grammar. The bootstrapped Swahili grammar resulted in a shareability of 100%, 71.11%, 68.75%, and 91.41% at category linearization, paradigms, parameters and syntax rules respectively. The portability was at 15.55%, 18.57%, and 8.59% at paradigms, parameters and syntax rules, respectively. Finally, this paper contributes in: first, provides an approach that leads to an effective and efficient method for developing and bootstrapping computational grammar for the under-resourced Bantu languages. Secondly, the research provided a Swahili grammar.

“…Like GF, Regulus uses a general grammar for each language, which is specialized to a domain-specific one. Ljunglöf (Ljunglöf, 2007b) relates GF and Regulus by showing how to convert GF grammars to Regulus grammars. We carry compositional semantic interpretation through left-recursion elimination using the same idea as the UNIANCE grammar compiler (Bos, 2002), though our version handles both direct and indirect left-recursion.…”

This paper describes how grammar-based language models for speech recognition systems can be generated from Grammatical Framework (GF) grammars. Context-free grammars and finite-state models can be generated in several formats: GSL, SRGS, JSGF, and HTK SLF. In addition, semantic interpretation code can be embedded in the generated context-free grammars. This enables rapid development of portable, multilingual and easily modifiable speech recognition applications.
