Testing
  • Treebanks
  • ...with a shellscript?
  • ...manually?
  • Random generation
RGL
  • RGL synopsis document
  • Download the source files and read them
  • ...because other documentation was not helpful
  • ...no, it was, but I'm just a GF nerd
  • Library browser grammar to construct RGL expressions
Grammar writing
  • Test corpus of sentences you want to express in the grammar
  • ...and uses the test corpus as a documentation for the abstract syntax
Sentence
Simple, restrictive abstract syntax
Common constructions with a functor
  • lincats only from recommended RGL API categories
  • lincats from categories that you have created yourself (see example below)
  • ...I use a type synonym and a special constructor
  • Only API-level functions (ParadigmsXxx, SyntaxXxx) -- no tables, no concatenation, no MorphoXxx opers.
