Automatic Identification of English Collocation Errors Based on Dependency Relations
نویسنده
چکیده
We present an English miscollocation identification system based on dependency relations drawn from the Stanford parser. We test our system against a subset of error-tagged Chinese Learner English Corpus (CLEC)and obtain an overall precision of 0.75. We describe some applications and limitations of our system and suggest directions for future research.

Automatic Extraction of English Collocations and their Chinese - English Bilingual Examples : A Computational Tool for Bilingual Lexicography
This paper describes the procedures involved in developing EXEC, a web-based system which can automatically extract English collocations and their Chinese-English bilingual examples from parallel corpora. The system draws on statistics, dependency parsing, and Chinese-English parallel corpora of more than 13 million English words and 27 million Chinese characters. By taking a word as well as th...
متن کاملCorrecting Semantic Collocation Errors with L1-induced Paraphrases
We present a novel approach for automatic collocation error correction in learner English which is based on paraphrases extracted from parallel corpora. Our key assumption is that collocation errors are often caused by semantic similarity in the first language (L1language) of the writer. An analysis of a large corpus of annotated learner English confirms this assumption. We evaluate our approac...
متن کاملArabic Collocation Extraction Based on Hybrid Methods
Collocation Extraction plays an important role in machine translation, information retrieval, secondary language learning, etc., and has obtained significant achievements in other languages, e.g. English and Chinese. There are some studies for Arabic collocation extraction using POS annotation to extract Arabic collocation. We used a hybrid method that included POS patterns and syntactic depend...
متن کاملA Corpus-based Analysis of Collocational Errors in the Iranian EFL Learners' Oral Production
Collocations are one of the areas generally considered problematic for EFL learners. Iranian learners of English like other EFL learners face various problems in producing oral collocations. An analysis of learners' spoken interlanguage both indicates the scope of the problem and the necessity to spend more time and energy by learners on mastering collocations. The present study specifically f...
متن کاملCollocation Translation Acquisition Using Monolingual Corpora
Collocation translation is important for machine translation and many other NLP tasks. Unlike previous methods using bilingual parallel corpora, this paper presents a new method for acquiring collocation translations by making use of monolingual corpora and linguistic knowledge. First, dependency triples are extracted from Chinese and English corpora with dependency parsers. Then, a dependency ...
