Work in projects

• Ongoing research projects at Saarland University:

The Slavic Grammar Matrix (SlaviGraM): parallel grammar engineering  and development of grammatical ressources for DELPH-IN:

SlaviGraM_RRG: construction of Russian HPSG in the DELPH-IN environment combining the Grammar Matrix and a Slavic Core Grammar with corpus-based grammar elaboration; exploiting the Russian National Corpus (RNC) in Russian Ressource Grammar (RRG) engineering.

SlaviGraM_BRG: construction of Bulgarian HPSG in the DELPH-IN environment combining the Grammar Matrix and a Slavic Core Grammar with corpus-based grammar elaboration

SlaviGraM_PRG: construction of Polish HPSG in the DELPH-IN environment combining the Grammar Matrix and a Slavic Core Grammar with corpus-based grammar elaboration

Slavic Core Grammar: strategies for constructing a cross-linguistic ressource based on concepts of shared and non-shared grammar in modelling Slavic morphosyntax.
