Grammar Engineering Glossary

This is a glossary of terms that tend to arise when using the LKB and the Grammar Matrix for grammar engineering, originally developed by EmilyBender at the University of Washington and ported to the DELPH-IN wiki by NedLetcher. Please help contribute or improve entries. Please prefix page names for answers with 'GeGlossary'. See also the Grammar Engineering FAQ.
