Workshop for grammar model building in the Giella infrastructure

The workshop has participants working with (at least) Faroese, Kven, Mansi and Mari.

!!!Program

The days will consist of common lectures before lunch, and individual
or group-wise work on the different languages and issues in the afternoon.
Not all participants will need to participate in all lectures, for these
we will arrange parallel sessions.

Monday morning will start with a common intro session where participants
introduce themselves and we identifiy intrests, needs and possible computer issues.

Possible afternoon topics will vary from language to language:

Specific issues in morphophpnology (twolc), morphology (lexc), syntax (cg),
testing, spellchecker development, lexicography.

Common lecture topics:

* Infrastructure: The giella file structure and how it works
* Basic Unix command line course: How to get around in the file structure + central commands
* Writing finite state transducers
* Writing constraint grammar rules
* Testing
