Multilingual Automatic Extraction of Linguistic Data from Grammars
Albert Kornilov
Proceedings of the Second Workshop on NLP Applications to Field Linguistics

One of the goals of field linguistics is compilation of descriptive grammars for relatively little-studied languages. Until recently, extracting linguistic characteristics from grammatical descriptions and creating databases based on them was done manually. The aim of this paper is to apply methods of multilingual automatic information extraction to grammatical descriptions written in different languages of the world: we present a search engine for grammars, which would accelerate the tedious and time-consuming process of searching for information about linguistic features and facilitate research in the field of linguistic typology.
