A web application to drill basic aspects of grammar. It is written in Clojure, a Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The grammatical and lexical formalism is based on Head Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) as described in the book Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar [Pollard and Sag 1994].
