The Linguistic Engineering Group

Polish in HPSG

The main aim of this project has been to develop formal and computational analyses of a wide range of phenomena in Polish within the framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. This work has been conducted mainly within the following grant:

• Zastosowanie metod inzynierii lingwistycznej do analizy i syntezy tekstów języka polskiego (Eng. "The application of the methods of linguistic engineering to the analysis and synthesis of Polish texts"), a (national) KBN grant No. 8 T11C 011110, 1996-1998.
