Description
Summary:This thesis marks out the implementation of an open source Icelandic resource grammar using the Grammatical Framework. The grammatical framework, GF, is a grammar formalism for multilingual grammars based on using language independent semantics that are represented by abstract syntax trees. The GF Resource Grammar Library is a set of natural languages implemented as resource grammars that all have a shared abstract syntax. Icelandic is the only official language of Iceland. Icelandic is a Germanic language of high morphological complexity. This thesis details some of the more interesting aspects of the grammar from the word forms of single words to how different words react to each other in a set forming phrases and sentences.
