The Parser and Writer for Syntax (PAWS) has two purposes. The Writer produces about a 100 page long rough draft of a grammar of the syntax of your language, based on the answers to the questions in each section of PAWS. The Parser produces all the files needed for using the PC-PATR syntactic parser for parsing and disambiguation within FieldWorks Language Explorer or CARLA Studio. For both the Writer and the Parser, we expect PAWS to cover about 80% of what a language needs.

The Combine is an easy-to-use tool for Rapid Word Collection (RWC)—a method of gathering words to serve as the backbone for a bilingual dictionary. At the heart of RWC are native speakers from a language community who, considering one semantic domain at a time, provide all words they can think of in their language related to that domain. The Combine facilitates collection of these words, along with translations, audio recordings, and notes, to more fully capture their form and meaning.

PrimerPrep allows you to load sample text files in a language, and can immediately show the “optimal” teaching order and which words (from your texts) are available for each lesson. You can literally have useful results in under a minute. But there are also numerous options for fine-tuning your results, including identifying word-break characters, digraphs, and affixes, and excluding specific words or affixes from the analysis. You can also easily change the teaching order with drag and drop.
