The Words300 Grammar

The Words300-grammar was produced to evaluate the correctness of the multilingual translation of ACE sentences offered by the ACE-in-GF grammar. The grammar contains ~300 words from the GF resource grammar library (RGL), namely the words from the ACE word classes common noun, transitive verb and proper name. Currently, most of the RGL languages are included, altogether 21 languages. For the description of the evaluation, see D11.3.

Note that the English sentences that this grammar produces are not always valid ACE sentences, due to "spaces in content words" which is not allowed in ACE. For example, the grammar supports For which computer does John wait? while ACE requires Which computer does John wait-for?.
