Time change for ParGram f-structure meeting
by Chit Fung LAM (Lawrence) 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Dear Colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to a change in the scheduled time of our next ParGram f-structure comparison meeting. The updated time is *Thursday, 3 April 2025, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM UTC+0 (5 PM to 7 PM in the UK, 6 PM to 8 PM in Central Europe, 9 AM to 11 AM in California*), taking into account the summer time calendar. The meeting will consist of two parts. In the first half, we will discuss any issues of linguistic analysis and/or technical XLE issues in relation to computational grammars under development by participants. If you are developing an XLE grammar and are having any issues with XLE or your grammar, you can discuss these issues in the first half of the meeting. In the second half, depending on how much time is remaining, we will continue the comparison of f-structures for translational equivalents of the following sentences: 30. The boy bathed in the river. 31. The teacher read to himself aloud. 32. The brothers bought the tractor for each other. The f-structures for the English versions of these sentences are available on the INESS page (see below) and in the Google Drive folder for this meeting series; please get in touch with one of us for access to this folder. Even if your grammar cannot analyse the translational equivalents of these sentences, you are welcome to attend the first half of the meeting and receive comments on your computational grammar and the structures that it produces, and you are also welcome to attend the second half to participate in discussion of these sentences for those grammars which can analyse them. Best, Mary, Lawrence, Elaine *Zoom Meeting* Join Zoom Meeting https://tcd-ie.zoom.us/j/92690283651?pwd=VXdOWjczaWtUYXM3cklvZC8rVlFuZz09 Meeting ID: 926 9028 3651 Passcode: 801772 >From Beginners to Experts, all are Welcome! We look forward to seeing you online soon. - Mary Dalrymple, Lawrence (Chit-Fung) Lam, and Elaine Ui Dhonnchadha Please refer to the message below for further details about the f-structure comparison meetings. Thank you! --------------------------------------- As we announced in an earlier message, Chit-Fung Lam (Lawrence), Elaine Ui Dhonnchadha, and Mary Dalrymple have revived the f-structure comparison sessions that were held in the regular meetings of the ParGram consortium ( https://pargram.w.uib.no/). These meetings are held on-line, and anyone who is developing a grammar using the XLE grammar development platform ( https://ling.sprachwiss.uni-konstanz.de/pages/xle/) is welcome to attend. We would also welcome participation by anyone using the Grammar Writer's Workbench ( https://parc-public.pages-external.parc.com/xle/isl/groups/nltt/medley/). The first half of these meetings will consist of discussion of general issues in grammar development and specific issues in the grammars and analyses that participants are working on. Please bring your questions and issues with your grammar and the XLE to this part of the meeting. In the second half of these meetings, we will discuss and compare f-structures for a parallel set of translationally equivalent sentences, using the Pargram treebank sentences as a starting point. The Pargram treebank is available at the following link (scroll to the end of the page): https://clarino.uib.no/iness/treebanks?collection=ParGram&reset-all=true We will discuss the f-structures for the current sentences (we may not have time for a discussion of all of them). You are welcome to attend the second half of the meeting even if your grammar does not parse the translational equivalent of these sentences. In preparation for the discussion in the second half of the meeting, participants will translate these sentences into the language they are working on, and produce and print out the f-structures to PDF. There is no need to print out c-structures. We have created a Google Drive directory for the f-structures, which currently contains f-structures for English, Irish, Mandarin, Norwegian, Polish and Welsh. In advance of the meeting, meeting participants should plan to deposit their f-structures there for as many of the sentences as you can parse. Please contact one of us if you would like to have access to this repository. If you have any questions, or if you would like to be added to the list of people with access to the f-structure repository, please send email to one of us. We are looking forward to discussing your f-structures! - Mary Dalrymple, Lawrence (Chit-Fung) Lam, and Elaine Ui Dhonnchadha
