The LinGO Grammar
Matrix is developed at the University of Washington in the context
of the DELPH-IN Consortium,
by Emily M. Bender
and colleagues. This material is based up work supported by
the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS-0644097.
Additional support for Grammar Matrix development came from a gift
to the Turing Center from the Utilika Foundation. Any opinions,
findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this
material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily
reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
The Grammar Matrix customization system is hosted by the University
of Washington.

Publications reporting on work based on grammars derived from this
system should cite Bender,
Flickinger and Oepen 2002 [.bib]
and Bender et al 2010 [.bib]. Further publications from the project are available
on the project website.
Filling out this form will produce a starter grammar for a natural
language, consisting of a language-independent core and customized
support for the phenomena you describe below. Be advised that this
system is highly experimental. We are interested in your feedback.
