Our paper, presented at
FG'02 in Trento, Italy,
discusses a graphical software tool called Morph
Moulder (MoMo) for teaching the formal foundations of a language
with a denotation in a domain of relational typed feature structures
as used in Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. With MoMo, students
learn the properties of totally well-typed, sort resolved relational
feature structures, the use of formal languages to describe typed
feature structures and the notions of constraint satisfaction and
models of grammars written in a formal language. MoMo was realized
and conceived within the context of a set of courses in the format
of web-based training, that focuses on the concept of typed feature
structures in a curriculum in grammar formalisms and parsing. The
formal language of MoMo amends the constraint language of TRALE (an
implementation platform for HPSG grammars based on ALE) to
accommodate the expressive power of HPSG.
