[developers] "Newbie" question

[Antske]

Hi Bernd,

This might help: gCLIMB is a metagrammar: it can be used to generate
grammars, but is not a grammar itself.
It is build on top of the LinGO Grammar Matrix Customization tool:
http://moin.delph-in.net/MatrixDocTop

The code takes a so-called 'choices file' as input and outputs a grammar.
You can find choices files for creating grammars with gCLIMB in the folder
choices/ in antske-germanic-development/
Some have abstract inflection, some use fully inflected words: I have not
created versions that make use of an external morphology, but this can be
done as well if you adapt the choices files appropriately.

You can create a grammar by running (for instance):

python matrix.py customize choices/Infl-ger-basic-inflected

Where Infl-ger-basic-inflected is a possible choices file you can use as
input. There should be choices files for more advanced grammars in the
repository.

Unfortunately I have not been able to fix a bug in the code I was recently
made aware of (I hope to look at this during the break), so you might be
better of checking out an earlier version of gCLIMB: r26689

Please do keep me posted and contact me if you have questions. I'm planning
to reinstall the DELPH-IN environment next week so I can respond more
quickly to information about bug fixes.

Hope this helps!

Antske
