Grammatical Framework on the iPhone using CC+ PFG parser

Abstract

This thesis introduces a domain speci c grammar for Grammatical Framework, as well as an iPhone application utilising the grammar and a C++ library to make parsing of the grammar possible on systems that does not easily include support for Java or Haskell. The grammar covers phrases and words related to mountainering. It is based on and extends the Phrasebook grammar from the Grammatical Framework. The C++ library is a port of the existing Java parser and retains a similar API and structure, with allowances for di erences in the two languages. The iPhone application provides a graphical user interface for the C++ library and utilises the mountaineering grammar, allowing the user to easily input phrases and browse translations.
