The late Yehuda Falk maintained a
web page for his 2001
textbook
Lexical-Functional Grammar: An Introduction to Parallel Constraint-Based Syntax
(CSLI Publications). His
Courses
web page contains additional material related to LFG teaching.
Yehuda died in 2012, but the links to his page are still working. There is also a copy
of his page (including the Course material)
here.
Miriam Butt's
Teaching Materials
web page contains links to course material, slides, and handouts for LFG and other
topics. Some of the material is in German.
Steve Wechsler's
Websites includes literature and
courses in LFG as well as English grammar, word meaning, and semantics.

The
Xerox Linguistic Environment (XLE). XLE consists of algorithms for parsing and generating large LFG grammars along with a
rich graphical user interface for writing and debugging such grammars. The system is
maintained and hosted at the University of Konstanz.
XLE Web-Interface: A a web-based tool for parsing with LFG grammars.
The following are publicly available implementations (in some sense) of LFG. The ordering is
random:
The geta_run system,
developed by Rodolfo Delmonte (Universita' Ca' Foscari, VENEZIA) and Dario Bianchi
(University of Parma), provides a web interface to a system that produces LFG-style
F-Structures.
GFU-LAB is a Prolog implementation by
Juan C. Ruiz-Anton. It uses SWI-Prolog, and should run under Linux and/or Windows.
XLFG
is a parser prototype which implements the LFG formalism, developed by Lionel
Clément. It is distributed as free software.
The ALE
system integrates phrase structure parsing, semantic-head-driven generation and
constraint logic programming with typed feature structures as terms; ''with suitable
coding, it can also execute several aspects of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG).''
