FraGoLi – Macros for constructing complex semantic derivations

The primary goal of this package is to provide a minimal and user-friendly syntax for constructing large and complex semantic derivations, following the specific notational style used at Goethe University Frankfurt. It includes a comprehensive set of commands for text formatting and various types of bracketing, ensuring a consistent style — particularly when distinguishing between meta-language and object-language within a single derivation or formula. The formula style is loosely based on the accompanying material to an introductory course to linguistic semantics by Prof. Dr. Thomas Ede Zimmermann.

The package brings together and refines a collection of LaTeX commands and concepts developed over the years within the Department of Linguistics at the Goethe-Universität at Frankfurt am Main. In the process of preparing research papers, assignments, and examinations, numerous custom LaTeX headers and commands were shared within the department — some mutually compatible, others not.

Note: The package name is an abbreviation of “Frankfurt Goethe Linguistic”.
