PLEASE NOTE that this resource and data is currently made available for reasons of reproducibility and to provide details on the grammars of the results presented in Fokkens (2011). The grammar generator in this directory has limited coverage. Future releases can be found on my homepage (which may be better documented).
This code is a branch of the LinGO Matrix Customization System (Bender and Flickinger 2005, Bender et al. (2010)). Much of the original code of the LinGO Matrix Customization System is used in this system. 


INSTRUCTIONS:

Please contact me at afokkens@coli.uni-sb.de, if the instructions are unclear, or you have problems when trying to run the experiments.


The choices for the grammars can be found under 'Choices'.
Each language has its own directory with four subdirectories, they each contain a distinct choices file for the language. An inventory is provided below.


To create the grammars run:

./matrix.py customize PATH/DIRECTORY-OF-CHOICES-FILE

A new directory containing the grammars components will be created in the DIRECTORY-OF-CHOICES-FILE.
The grammar can be loaded by selecting the file lkb/script in LKB.

Do ***not*** change the names of the choices files.


EVALUATION TOOLS:

The evaluation tools are open source.

Information on the LKB can be found at http://wiki.delph-in.net/moin/LkbTop

Information on [incr tsdb()] can be found at http://www.delph-in.net/itsdb/

Both can be down-loaded from http://lingo.delph-in.net/latest/

We used version 2.0 of [incr tsdb()] in our study.


The choices files of particular grammars can be found in the following directories:

Dutch:

argument composition, full coverage: Choices/Dutch/arg-comp-compl-du
argument composition, limited pvp coverage: Choices/Dutch/arg-comp-limited-pvp-du
aux+verb, full coverage: Choices/Dutch/aux+verb-compl-du
aux+verb, limited pvp coverage: Choices/Dutch/aux+verb-limited-pvp-du


Flemish:

argument composition, full coverage: Choices/Flemish/arg-comp-compl-fl
argument composition, limited pvp coverage: Choices/Flemish/arg-comp-limited-pvp-fl
aux+verb, full coverage: Choices/Flemish/aux+verb-compl-fl
aux+verb, limited pvp coverage: Choices/Flemish/aux+verb-limited-pvp-fl

German:


argument composition, full coverage: Choices/German/arg-comp-compl-ge
argument composition, limited pvp coverage: Choices/German/arg-comp-limited-pvp-ge
aux+verb, full coverage: Choices/German/aux+verb-compl-ge
aux+verb, limited pvp coverage: Choices/German/aux+verb-limited-pvp-ge



Choices files can be changed to create grammars that represent a fracture of the language a (starting) example can be found under Choices/Dutch/RealFragMent.
A better impression of the phenomena handled through the original customization system can be obtained by examining that system at: http://www.delph-in.next/matrix/customize/matrix.cgi.
The customization system does *not* handle morphophonology.
