Handling Syntactic Extra-Grammaticality
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews and summarizes six diier-ent types of extra-grammatical phenomena and their corresponding recovery principles at the syntactic level, and describes some techniques used to deal with four of them completely within an Extended GLR parser (EGLR). Partial solutions to the remaining two by the EGLR parser are also discussed. The EGLR has been implemented.

Grammaticality judgements, intuitions and corpora 175-015 Syntax
The syntactician’s toolkit relies heavily on grammaticality judgements. Tests determining the structure of language often involve transforming a language fragment and then checking the grammaticality of the result. For example, distributional tests for constituency. However, determining grammaticality is not always a straightforward task. Tests for grammaticality have been characterized by two ...
متن کاملAcceptability Prediction by Means of Grammaticality Quantification
We propose in this paper a method for quantifying sentence grammaticality. The approach based on Property Grammars, a constraint-based syntactic formalism, makes it possible to evaluate a grammaticality index for any kind of sentence, including ill-formed ones. We compare on a sample of sentences the grammaticality indices obtained from PG formalism and the acceptability judgements measured by ...
متن کاملMorphological analysis in sentence processing: An ERP study
We examined the effects of syntactic (tense) violations occurring on regularly versus irregularly inflected verbs using event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Participants read sentences in which the main verb varied in terms of regularity (regular vs. irregular), frequency (high vs. low), and grammaticality (tense violation vs. no tense violation). For regular verbs, we found a reliable N400 e...
متن کاملTowards a Statistical Model of Grammaticality
The question of whether it is possible to characterise grammatical knowledge in probabilistic terms is central to determining the relationship of linguistic representation to other cognitive domains. We present a statistical model of grammaticality which maps the probabilities of a statistical model for sentences in parts of the British National Corpus (BNC) into grammaticality scores, using va...
متن کاملDifferential effects of syntactic and semantic processing on the subregions of Broca's area.
This study attempts to specify the contribution of two subregions of Broca's area during syntactic and semantic processing of sentences by examining brain activation in a grammaticality judgment task. The processing of two types of ungrammatical sentences was examined. One type leaves the thematic interpretation generally unaffected, by violating the noun-verb agreement in number, while the oth...
