Spotting and Improving Modularity in Large Scale Grammar Development
نویسنده
چکیده
XMG (eXtensible MetaGrammar) is a metagrammar compiler which has already been used for the design of large scale Tree Adjoining Grammars and Interaction Grammars. Due to the heterogeneity in this field (different grammar formalisms, different languages, etc), a particularly interesting aspect to explore is modularity. In this paper, we discuss the different spots where this modularity can be considered in a grammar development, and its integration to XMG.

The Effects of Gradual and Indirect Feedback on EFL Learners' Grammar Development and Beliefs
Corrective feedback has received significant attention in English language teaching, and its role has been highly substantial. Considering the importance of corrective feedback in EFL classes, this study aimed at finding the effects of indirect and gradual CF on Iranian EFL learners' grammatical development and their beliefs toward CF. Twenty EFL learners, meeting the c...
متن کاملStrengths and weaknesses of finite-state technology: a case study in morphological grammar development
Finite-state technology is considered the preferred model for representing the phonology and morphology of natural languages. The attractiveness of this technology for natural language processing stems from four sources: modularity of the design, due to the closure properties of regular languages and relations; the compact representation that is achieved through minimization; efficiency, which ...

This study was an attempt to examine the effect of using comic strips on improving grammar recognition and performance among Iranian young EFL learners. To this end, one experimental and one control groups were formed, each having 45 preintermediate participants chosen via convenience sampling. The researcher-made pretests of grammar and speaking assured the researchers that the participants di...
متن کاملApplication of the Hot Spotting Method for the Straightening of a Large Turbine Rotor
Different problems may cause distortion of the rotor, and hence vibration, which is the most severe damage of the turbine rotors. Different techniques have been developed for the straightening of bent rotors. The method for straightening can be selected according to initial information from preliminary inspections and tests such as nondestructive tests, chemical analysis, run out tests and also...
متن کاملGrammar Modularity and its Impact on Grammar Documentation
This paper addresses the documentation of large-scale grammars.1 We argue that grammar implementation differs from ordinary software programs: the concept of modules, as known from software engineering, cannot be transferred directly to grammar implementations, due to grammar-specific properties. These properties also put special constraints on the form of grammar documentation. To fulfill thes...
