This demonstration presents the LinGO Grammar Matrix grammar customization system: a repository of distilled linguistic knowledge and a web-based service which elicits a typological description of a language from the user and yields a customized grammar fragment ready for sustained development into a broad-coverage grammar. We describe the implementation of this repository with an emphasis on how the information is made available to users, including in-browser testing capabilities. | Grammar Prototyping and Testing with the LinGO Grammar Matrix Customization System Emily M.

The LinGO Grammar Matrix project Bender et al. 2002 is situated within the DELPH-IN 2 collaboration and is both a repository of reusable linguistic knowledge and a method of delivering this knowledge to a user in the form of an extensible precision implemented grammar. The stored knowledge includes both a cross-linguistic core grammar and a series of libraries containing analyses of cross-linguistically variable phenomena. The core grammar handles basic phrase types semantic compositionality and general infrastructure such as the feature geometry while the current set of libraries includes analyses of word order person number gender tense aspect case coordination pro-drop sentential negation yes no questions and direct-inverse marking as well as facilities for defining classes types of lexical entries and lexical rules which apply to those types. The grammars produced are compatible with both the grammar development tools and the 1http matrix customize 2 . http .
