Implementing GF Resource Grammar for Sindhi - A subtitle that can be quite long if necessary

Abstract

Recently, demand for getting data through the world wide web has been dramatically increased. People with different languages can find information in languages which are varied with their own. But if we can manage somehow to translate information from one language to another language, then it might become possible to use the complete information. Grammatical Framework makes it easier to translate text from one language to another. Grammatical Framework is a functional programming language that can be used to develop multilingual natural language processing applications. Grammatical Framework programs implement the grammatical rules of natural language. The resource grammar library is an important part of the Grammatical Framework. The multilingual Grammatical Framework resource library contains a language-independent abstract syntax and a set of languagedependent concrete syntaxes. The main focus of this thesis work is to develop a resource grammar of Sindhi language using Grammatical Framework. This work tries to cover in detail the morphology and the syntactic structure of Sindhi language. The developed Sindhi resource grammar can be used for multilingual applications, such as translation, language teaching and software localization.
