This workshop aims at allowing young researchers working on grammar implementations using modern constraint-based (or typed feature-based) formalisms to present and discuss their work. The focus of the workshop is in uncovering how coding is influenced or what decisions are forced in grammar writing by the choice of a particular formalism. At the same time we shall be devoting 40% of the time to introducing the relevant (and most commonly used) typed feature formalisms. The workshop will be of interest both to people who would like to get an understanding of different grammar formalisms and to people who want to share their experience in using such formalisms. Contributed talks are 30 minutes allowing further 15 minutes for discussion.
