Automatic Classification of Article Errors in L2 Written English
This paper presents an approach to the automatic classification of article errors in non native (L2) English writing, using data cho sen from the MELD corpus that was purposely selected to contain only cases with article errors.

متن کاملEnglish prepositional passive constructions

In the tradition of transformational grammar, the term ‘(grammatical) construction’ has been a theoretical taboo at least since the 1980s. It was then that Chomsky argued that transformations like ‘passive’ and ‘raising’, common in earlier versions of transformational grammar, should be eliminated in favor of general conditions on structures that would allow a single operation – ‘Move NP’ – to ...
متن کاملEnglish Prepositional Passive Constructions
An empirical overview of the properties of English prepositional passives is presented, followed by a discussion of formal approaches to the analysis of the various types of prepositional passives in HPSG. While a lexical treatment is available, the significant number of technical and conceptual difficulties encountered point to an alternative approach relying on constructional constraints. The...
متن کاملEnglish Relative Clause Constructions
Abstract This paper sketches a grammar of English relative clause constructions (including infinitival and reduced relatives) based on the notions of construction type and type constraints. Generalizations about dependency relations and clausal functions are factored into distinct dimensions contributing constraints to specific construction types in a multiple inheritance type hierarchy. The gr...
