Parallel Grammar and Parallel Semantics Projects
![[C-structure and f-structure for `It works!']](pargram-graphic.gif)
The Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) ParGram and ParSem projects are a
collaborative effort involving researchers in industrial and academic
institutions around the world. The aim of the ParGram project is to
produce wide coverage grammars for a wide variety of languages. These
are written collaboratively within the linguistic framework of LFG and with a
commonly-agreed-upon set of grammatical features. The ParSem project
develops semantic structures based on the ParGram syntactic
structures. Most of the ParSem systems use XLE's XFR system.
