Working for Two: A Bidirectional Grammar for a Controlled Natural Language
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces the controlled natural language PENG Light together with a language processor that is based on a bidirectional grammar. The language processor has the following interesting properties: (a) it translates declarative sentences written in PENG Light into a first-order logic notation (TPTP); (b) it generates declarative sentences in PENG Light taking syntactically annotated TPTP formulas as input; and (c) it translates questions written in PENG Light into (conjunctive) queries in TPTP notation and uses the TPTP representation of the query as a starting point for generating answers in PENG Light. Moreover, the controlled natural language processor can be interfaced directly with an automated reasoner in order to resolve anaphoric references and to answer questions stated in PENG Light.

Hybrid Processing for Grammar and Style Checking
This paper presents an implemented hybrid approach to grammar and style checking, combining an industrial patternbased grammar and style checker with bidirectional, large-scale HPSG grammars for German and English. Under this approach, deep processing is applied selectively based on the error hypotheses of a shallow system. We have conducted a comparative evaluation of the two components, suppo...
متن کاملA Multilingual Semantic Wiki Based on Attempto Controlled English and Grammatical Framework
We describe a semantic wiki system with an underlying controlled natural language grammar implemented in Grammatical Framework (GF). The grammar restricts the wiki content to a well-defined subset of Attempto Controlled English (ACE), and facilitates a precise bidirectional automatic translation between ACE and language fragments of a number of other natural languages, making the wiki content a...
متن کاملInductive vs. Deductive Grammar Instruction and the Grammatical Performance of EFL Learners
Learning a foreign language offers a great challenge to students since it involves learning different skills and subskills. Quite a few number of researches have been done so far on the relationship between gender and learning a foreign language. On the other hand, two major approaches in teaching grammar have been offered by language experts, inductive and deductive. The present study examines...
متن کاملRecast and Explicit Feedback to Young Language Learners: Impacts on Grammar Uptake and Willingness to Communicate
Despite the increasing popularity of error treatment as a research subject, the effect of age as a potential learner-internal factor affecting choice of feedback is largely undertreated. Characterized by being at early stages of self-empowerment, young language learners are considerably vulnerable and in need of particular language input to meet their age-appropriate psychological demands. This...
متن کاملBidirectional Incremental Parsing for Automatic Pathway Identification with Combinatory Categorial Grammar
As the importance of automatically extracting and analyzing various natural language assertions about protein-protein interactions in biomedical publications is recognized, many uses of natural language processing techniques are proposed in the literature. However, most proposals to date make rather simplifying assumptions about the syntactic aspects of natural language due to various reasons i...
