In a workshop on Digital Language Description, Knowledge Representation and Formal Linguistics, linguists from Hyderabad and Trondheim will work together on the representation and formalisation of some of the salient aspects of selected languages from the Dravidian, the Indo-Aryan and the Austro-Asiatic language families of India.

Using natural language processing tools and linguistic web-technology developed at University at Hyderabad and at NTNU, we will create small research corpora which we will annotate for salient linguistic properties with the goal of deriving Attribute Value Matrix Notations from these annotations.
