  • This is a proof-of-concept implementation of a (very!) small fragment of an English Sign-Based Construction Grammar, adapted to adhere to classic CxG assumptions. The grammar is implemented in ProFIT, a Prolog extension with Features, Inheritance, and Templates originally developed by Gregor Erbach (Universitaet des Saarlandes) in 1994. The present version of ProFIT has been ported to modern SICStus Prolog (3.8 or higher) by Mats Carlson. None of these individuals have any knowledge of the present project or share any of the blame for any of its shortcomings.
