This paper describes the CoreGram project, a multilingual grammar engineering project that develops HPSG grammars for several typologically diverse languages that share a common core. The paper provides a general motivation for doing theoretical linguistics the way it is done in the CoreGram
project and therefore is not targeted to computational linguists exclusively. I argue for a constraint-based approach to language rather than a generative-enumerative one and discuss issues of formalization. Recent advantages in the language acquisition research are mentioned and conclusions
on how theories should be constructed are drawn. The paper discusses some of the highlights in the implemented grammars, gives a brief overview of central theoretical concepts and their implementation in TRALE and compares the CoreGram project with other multilingual grammar engineering projects.

This paper presents the creation and the initial stage development of a broad-coverage Indonesian Resource Grammar (INDRA) within the framework of Head Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) (Pollard and Sag, 1994) and Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS) (Copestake et al., 2005). At the present stage, INDRA focuses on verbal constructions and subcategorization since they are fundamental for argument and event structure. Verbs in INDRA were semi-automatically acquired from the English Resource Grammar (ERG) (Flickinger, 2000) via Wordnet Bahasa (Nurril Hirfana Mohamed Noor et al., 2011; Bond et al., 2014). In the future, INDRA will be used in the development process of machine translation. A preliminary evaluation of INDRA on the MRS test-suite shows promising coverage.

The idea of a tool for parsing several languages easily and in parallel is
one of the goals for both theoretical linguistics and engineering. One approach would be to create formalized descriptions of linguistic structures. This paper suggests a solution for describing the syntactic organization and its linking to the semantic structure of three-argument constructions with morphological causatives. Our analysis grounds on formalized Role and Reference Grammar. As the description tool, we use eXtensible MetaGrammar (XMG), encoding syntactic structures in the form of trees and semantic structures as decompositional frames.
