Overview
The LinGO Grammar Matrix is an open-source starter-kit for rapid prototyping of precision broad-coverage grammars compatible with the LKB. The Matrix thrives on input from users working on varied languages. If you're interested, please contact us --- through the mailing list, or by emailing ![[WWW]](/wiki/classic/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}

The Wish List page serves as a forum for relatively informal exchange among developers and consumers, in addition to the Matrix mailing list.
There is an excellent [ guide] available (Flickinger, Dan, Emily M. Bender and Stephan Oepen. 2003. MRS in the LinGO Grammar Matrix: A Practical User's Guide. ms). Some of it is out of date, but it is still the best single source of information.

2004 course, Matrix v0.7 2005 course, Matrix v0.8 2006 course, Matrix v0.9ish The Matrix is a key component of the
Montage toolkit (which is in early development stages), a suite of tools to assist in the documentation of grammars of underdescribed languages. The
LKB Grammar Engineering/FAQ on the UW Treehouse wiki may be useful to those working with the Matrix.
We have some examples in the short and sweet MRs Test Suites, which now exist for multiple languages.
Current events
We are currently expanding the phenomenon libraries to include case, agreement, tense and aspect, as well as extensions to the existing libraries for word order, sentential negation, yes-no questions and coordination.
PET now has :+.
