1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: Grammatical Framework
Grammatical Framework (GF) is a programming language for writing grammars of natural languages.GF is capable of parsing and generating texts in several languages simultaneously while working from a language-independent representation of meaning. | 0 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: Grammars written in GF can be compiled into different formats including JavaScript and Java and can be reused as software components.A companion to GF is the "GF Resource Grammar Library", a reusable library for dealing with the morphology and syntax of a growing number of natural languages.Both GF itself and the GF Resource Grammar Library are open-source. | 404 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: Typologically, GF is a functional programming language.Mathematically, it is a type-theoretic formal system (a logical framework to be precise) based on Martin-Löf's intuitionistic type theory, with additional judgments tailored specifically to the domain of linguistics.Goal: write a multilingual grammar for expressing statements about John and Mary loving each other. | 689 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: In GF, grammars are divided to two module types:
Consider the following:
Abstract syntax
Concrete syntax: English
Notice: Str (token list or "string") as the only linearization type.A single abstract syntax may be applied to many concrete syntaxes, in our case one for each new natural language we wish to add.The same system of trees can be given:
Concrete syntax: French
We can now use our grammar to translate phrases between French and English. | 1,198 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: The following commands can be executed in the GF interactive shell.Import many grammars with the same abstract syntax
> import ZeroEng.gf ZeroFre.gf
Languages: ZeroEng ZeroFre
Translation: pipe linearization to parsing
> parse -lang=Eng "John loves Mary" | linearize -lang=Fre
Jean aime Marie
Multilingual generation: linearize into all languages
> generate_random | linearize -treebank
Zero: Pred Mary (Compl Love Mary)
ZeroEng: Mary loves Mary
ZeroFre: Marie aime Marie
Latin has "cases": nominative for subject, accusative for object.We use a parameter type for case (just 2 of Latin's 6 cases). | 1,538 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: The linearization type of NP is a table type: from Case to Str.The linearization of John is an inflection table.When using an NP, we select (!) | 2,142 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: the appropriate case from the table.Concrete syntax: Latin
In Dutch, the verb "heeft lief" is a discontinuous constituent.The linearization type of V2 is a record type with two fields. | 2,262 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: The linearization of Love is a record.The values of fields are picked by projection (.)Concrete syntax: Dutch
For Hebrew, NP has gender as its inherent feature a field in the record. | 2,452 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: VP has gender as its variable feature an argument of a table.In predication, the VP receives the gender of the NP.Concrete syntax: Hebrew
GF has inbuilt functions which can be used for visualizing parse trees and word alignments. | 2,662 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: The following commands will generate parse trees for the given phrases and open the produced PNG image using the system's eog command.> parse -lang=Eng "John loves Mary" | visualize_parse -view="eog"
> parse -lang=Dut "Jan heeft Marie lief" | visualize_parse -view="eog"
In general, this gives phrase alignment.Links can be crossing, phrases can be discontinuous. | 2,971 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: The align_words command follows a similar syntax:
> parse -lang=Fre "Marie aime Jean" | align_words -lang=Fre,Dut,Lat -view="eog"
In natural language applications, libraries are a way to cope with thousands of details involved in syntax, lexicon, and inflection.The GF Resource Grammar Library is the standard library for Grammatical Framework.It covers the morphology and basic syntax of 20 languages:
Amharic (partial), Arabic (partial), Bulgarian, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hindi (fragments), Interlingua, Italian, Latin (fragments), Nepali, Norwegian bokmål, Persian, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai (fragments), Turkish (fragments), Urdu
A full API documentation of the library can be found at the RGL Synopsis page. | 3,469 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: The RGL status document gives the languages currently available in the GF Resource Grammar Library, including their maturity.GF was first created in 1998 at Xerox Research Centre Europe, Grenoble, in the project Multilingual Document Authoring.At Xerox, it was used for prototypes including a restaurant phrase book, a database query system, a formalization of an alarm system instructions with translations to 5 languages, and an authoring system for medical drug descriptions. | 4,118 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: Later projects using GF and involving third parties include:
Academically, GF has been used in four PhD theses and resulted in around fifty scientific publications (see GF publication list).There is an active group for developers and users of GF alike, located at https://groups.google.com/group/gf-dev
The third GF Summer school, was held on Frauenchiemsee island in Bavaria, Germany with the special theme "Scaling up Grammar Resources".This summer school focused on extending the existing resource grammars with the ultimate goal of dealing with any text in the supported languages. | 4,667 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: Lexicon extension is an obvious part of this work, but also new grammatical constructions were also of interest.There was a special interest in porting resources from other open-source approaches, such as WordNets and Apertium, and reciprocally making GF resources easily reusable in other approaches.The second GF Summer school, subtitled "Frontiers of Multilingual Technologies" was held in 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. | 5,178 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: It was sponsored by CLT, the Centre for Language Technology of the University of Gothenburg, and by UPC, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.The School addressed new languages and also promoted ongoing work in those languages which are already under construction.Missing EU languages were especially encouraged. | 5,630 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: The school began with a 2-day GF tutorial, serving those interested in getting an introduction to GF or an overview of on-going work.All results of the summer school are available as open-source software released under the LGPL license.The first GF summer school was held in 2009 in Gothenburg, Sweden. | 5,938 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: It was a collaborative effort to create grammars of new languages in Grammatical Framework, GF.These grammars were added to the Resource Grammar Library, which previously had 12 languages.Around 10 new languages are already under construction, and the School aimed to address 23 new languages. | 6,206 |
1,082,182 | Grammatical Framework: All results of the Summer School were made available as open-source software released under the LGPL license.The summer school was organized by the Language Technology Group at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.The group is a part of the Centre of Language Technology, a focus research area of the University of Gothenburg. | 6,517 |
1,082,183 | Christian Howard (theologian): Christian Howard (theologian)
Dame Rosemary Christian Howard (5 September 1916 – 22 April 1999) was the daughter of Geoffrey and Ethel Christian (née Methuen) Howard.She was awarded the honorary degree of Lambeth Master of Arts by the Archbishop of Canterbury. | 0 |
1,082,183 | Christian Howard (theologian): Born at her family's Castle Howard, she worked for the ordination of women, as well as being active in the ecumenical movement.She was remembered as "a great character, a great Christian woman and a formidable person" by the Archdeacon of York, George Austin, who was one her staunchest opponents on the ordination of women.Her grandmother, Rosalind Howard, Countess of Carlisle, had been a tireless worker for the women's suffrage organization - as a suffragist, wedded to legal means, rather than a suffragette - and Howard followed her example in her work to achieve the ordination of women to the priesthood. | 392 |
1,082,183 | Christian Howard (theologian): A founding member of the Movement for the Ordination of Women, she concentrated her major effort on the synodical process to secure the necessary legislation.In 1972 she wrote a report for General Synod entitled The Ordination of Women to Priesthood.She earned the Lambeth Diploma in Theology, was appointed a lay canon provincial of York Minster, served on General Synod 1970-85, was a delegate to the World Council of Churches (WCC) in 1961 and 1968, was appointed to the Faith and Order Commission of the WCC and served as the first woman vice-moderator. | 1,040 |
1,082,184 | Strymonian Gulf: Strymonian Gulf
The Strymonian or Strymonic Gulf (), also known as the Orfano Gulf (), is a branch of the Thracian Sea—itself part of the Aegean Sea—lying east of the Chalcidice peninsula and south of the Serres regional unit.It was formerly known as the Gulf of Rendina, in reference to the ancient colony of Eion along the gulf's shores. | 0 |
1,082,185 | Paleocortex: Paleocortex
In anatomy of animals, the paleocortex, or paleopallium, is a region within the telencephalon in the brain which is older in an evolutionary sense (i.e.phylogenetically) than the archicortex (or archipallium) and the neocortex (or neopallium). | 0 |
1,082,185 | Paleocortex: The paleocortex (or paleopallium) and the archicortex (or the archipallium) of the cerebral cortex together constitute the allocortex or the heterogenetic cortex.The distinction for what is called neocortex or isocortex, which comprises most of the human brain (about 90%), is made from the number of cellular layers that the structure comprises.Neocortical tissue comprises six distinct cell layers, not seen in paleocortical tissues either in adult or developing stage. | 422 |
1,082,185 | Paleocortex: In humans the paleocortex is exemplified in the olfactory cortex.Paleocortex is also defined as a type of cortical tissue that consists of three cortical laminae (layers of neuronal cell bodies).In comparison, the neocortex has six layers and the archicortex has three or four layers. | 801 |
1,082,185 | Paleocortex: Paleocortex, along with archicortex and periallocortex, is a type of allocortex.Because the number of laminae that compose a type of cortical tissue seems to be directly proportional to both the information-processing capabilities of that tissue and its phylogenetic age, paleocortex is thought to be an intermediate between neocortex and archicortex in both aspects.Paleocortex is present in the parahippocampal gyrus, olfactory bulb, accessory olfactory bulb, olfactory tubercle, piriform cortex, periamygdalar area, anterior olfactory nucleus, anterior perforated substance, and prepyriform area. | 1,103 |

1,082,186 | Aid to Artisans: Aid to Artisans
Aid to Artisans (ATA) is a project of Creative Learning 501(c)(3), a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC.Aid to Artisans mission is to create economic opportunities for low-income artisan groups around the world where livelihoods, communities, and craft traditions are marginal or at risk. | 0 |
1,082,186 | Aid to Artisans: ATA helps artisans in more than 110 countries raise the standard of living for their families and their communities by building profitable businesses inspired by handmade traditions.ATA offers artisans access to new markets, business training, eco-effective processes and design innovations through a network of partners to promote sustainable growth and community well-being.ATA has worked with prominent designers such as Jonathan Adler. | 505 |
1,082,186 | Aid to Artisans: The work of ATA Colombia spawned an independent organization Fundación Creata headed by Director Mauricio Rincon and Project Manager Julian Huerfano They joined ATA at the New York international Gift Fair in 2013.Similarly, in September 2010 ATA's field office in South Africa became the independent organization The Africa Craft Trust.Aid to Artisans was founded in 1976 in Boston, Massachusetts by James S. Plaut, former Secretary General of the World Crafts Council (WCC), and his wife Mary. | 982 |
1,082,186 | Aid to Artisans: Working through ATA, their goal was to give artisans practical assistance selling their products thus providing them with sustainable streams of income.With this in mind, ATA began importing high quality crafts and selling them to museum stores in the United States under the assumption that this was the most fertile market for handcrafts.However, in the early 1980s, ATA began moving away from the limited museum store market to a broader strategy of providing artisan groups with product development assistance, market links and business skills training: three services that remain at the core of the ATA model. | 1,419 |
1,082,186 | Aid to Artisans: At this time, ATA also started its Small Grants Program which gives artisans the means to improve their production capacity and quality by purchasing new equipment and materials.In 1986, James and Mary Plaut retired and ATA moved to Farmington, Connecticut, the home of its new President Clare Brett Smith, an experienced commercial crafts importer and photographer.In 2000, ATA moved to its current office in Hartford. | 2,064 |
1,082,186 | Aid to Artisans: ATA's first major project was funded by USAID in Honduras (1984-1986) and since then ATA has worked in over 110 countries throughout Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.Over the past 10 years, ATA’s efforts have leveraged nearly $245 million in retail sales.This income has empowered 125,000 artisans in 41 emerging regions of the world and more than 70% of the artisans ATA works with are women. | 2,505 |
1,082,186 | Aid to Artisans: ATA currently works in 12 countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Colombia, Chad, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Haiti, Morocco, Mali, Mexico and Tibet.In October, 2012, Aid to Artisans joined the Washington, DC based non-profit Creative Learning as its new signature program.Since its inception, Creative Learning has managed a host of innovative people-to-people projects that serve the needs of communities in developing countries, working to protect human rights, improve educational opportunities and build peace. | 2,922 |

1,082,196 | Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia: Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia
Church of the Holy Trinity is an Episcopal church on Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia.The first service in the church building, designed by Scottish architect John Notman, was held on March 27, 1859. | 0 |
1,082,196 | Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia: The corner tower was added in 1867 and was designed by George W. Hewitt of the firm of Fraser, Furness & Hewitt.It is designed in the simpler "low church" style, rather than the fancier "high church" or Anglo-Catholic style of Notman's nearby St. Marks Episcopal Church.The church's rector from 1862 to 1869 was Phillips Brooks, probably most famous as the author of the lyrics to the familiar Christmas carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem". | 358 |
1,082,196 | Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia: Renowned (and sometimes reviled) for his ebullient homilies and his staunch opposition to slavery, Brooks delivered a eulogy to Abraham Lincoln in the church on April 23, 1865, following the U.S. President's assassination on April 14.This sermon was reprinted and widely read.After the end of the American Civil War, Brooks took a sabbatical from the church to travel to Europe, Israel and Palestine. | 923 |
