Fluid Construction Grammar
In order to conduct experiments in language evolution it was necessary to develop a solid flexible formalism for the representation of linguistic knowledge and for orchestrating the parsing, production and learning processes necessary for language interaction. In collaboration with the VUB AI laboratory we have developed Fluid Construction Grammar (FCG). FCG is within the tradition of feature structure based, unification oriented grammars. It has some unusual features including bidirectionality, scoring of rules, and special operators (particularly the J-operator) for dealing with hierarchy. FCG is fully operational and can be downloaded from www.fcg-net.org.
