Abstract
XMG (eXtensible MetaGrammar) is a metagrammar compiler which has already been used for the design of large scale Tree Adjoining Grammars and Interaction Grammars. Due to the heterogeneity in the field of grammar development (different grammar formalisms, different languages, etc), a particularly interesting aspect to explore is modularity. In this paper, we discuss the different spots where this modularity can be considered in a grammar development, and its integration to XMG.
