A corpus-based technique for grammar development
نویسندگان
چکیده
We argue in this paper in favor of a fully constraint-based approach in the perspective of grammar development. Representing syntactic information by means of constraints makes it possible to include several parsers at the core of the development process. In this approach, any constraint (then any syntactic property) can be evaluated separately. This aspect, on top of being highly useful in a dynamic grammar development, also allows to quantify the impact of a constraint over a grammar. We describe in this paper a general architecture for developing a grammar in this perspective and different tools that can be used in this schema.

The Impact of Teaching Corpus-based Collocation on EFL Learners' Writing Ability
Abstract The present study explores the impact of corpus-based collocation instruction on intermediate Iranian EFL learners' writing ability. For this study, 84 Iranian learners, studying English as a foreign language in Bayan Institute, Iran, were selected and were randomly divided into two groups, experimental and control. Conventional methods of writing instruction were taught to the control...

متن کاملGrammar Development for Czech Syntactic Parser with Corpus-based Techniques
In the paper, we present the description of the Czech syntactic parser synt developed at FI MU NLP laboratory. The presented system is based on the meta-grammar formalism with a head-driven chart parser. The parsing technique provides fast analysis of the context free backbone with successive evaluation of the contextual constraints using so called “forest of values.” The meta-grammar formalism...

The present study investigated comparatively the impact of two types of input enhancement (i.e. textual vs. compound enhancement) on developing grammar ability in Iranian EFL setting. Sixty-five female secondary high school students were selected as a homogenous sample out of about a 100-member population based on Nelson language proficiency test. Then, their grammar ability was measured based ...

This paper describes an agent-based evolutionary computing technique called GRAEL (Grammar Evolution), that is able to perform different natural language grammar optimization and induction tasks. Two different instantiations of the GRAELenvironment are described in this paper: in GRAEL1 large annotated corpora are used to bootstrap grammatical structure in a society of agents, who engage in a s...
