The Name “Malaga” is used with two different meanings: on the one hand, it is the name of a special purpose programming language, namely a language to implement grammars for natural languages. On the other hand, it is the name of a program package for development of Malaga Grammars and testing them by analysing words and sentences. “Malaga” is an acronym for “Merely a Language-Analysing Grammar Application”.
The program package “Malaga” has been developed by Bjoern Beutel. Gerald Schueller has implemented parts of the original debugger, the original Emacs Malaga mode and the original Tree and Variable output.
So far, morphology grammars for several natural languages have been developed with Malaga, including the German, Italian, English, Spanish, Albanian and Korean language.
