This page is all about grammar writing using OpenCCG. For a repository of grammars written using the ccg-format, visit the CCG cookbook on Sourceforge.
On this page you will find information about status of grammars being written with OpenCCG, a step-by-step tutorial for writing a small grammar, and (eventually) a more extensive grammar-writer's guide. The CCG GUI tutorial is here, and advanced topics in using the GUI for grammar writing are covered here.

This user's manual is designed as a gentle guide to grammar writing with OpenCCG. It is a work in progress. Brand new users of OpenCCG might find it helpful to go through the WebCCG tutorial. WebCCG is a simplified interface to OpenCCG, introducing many of the basic concepts needed to write an OpenCCG grammar. To get familiar with the editor, check out the CCG GUI tutorial.
The manual begins with a guide to downloading, installing, and using OpenCCG. We then cover grammar writing in CCG (rather different from writing phrase-structure grammars, for example), grammar implementation using the ccg-format, and the basics of semantics in OpenCCG. Get in touch with Jason, Alexis, or Sudipta if you have problems running the software or have questions about implementing your grammar.
[a lot of this stuff can wait – part of the idea is to have a section for people who aren't familiar with CCG and what a CCG analysis looks like … amp]
