2 Executive Summary In the CORRie parser utility tool GramComp, a preliminary grammar for Swedish have been written to detect agreement in noun phrases, exceptions from these agreement rules, case problems, erroneous verb sequences, and certain structural problems. The grammar contain context-free phrase structure rules and local error rules written in accordance with the formalism presented by Vosse in The Word Connection (1994) and in the documentation to the CORRie parser and GramComp. A special formalism for local error rules has thus not been developed within the SCARRIE project. The development of the grammar rules has been based on test sentences collected from the Error Corpora Database (Deliverable ). Different types of declarative clause constructions are covered, including formal object and object with infinitive. Subordinate clauses can also be handled.

4 1 Introduction The objectives were to write context-free phrase structure rules for Swedish, to specify a formalism for local error rules, and to write local error rules. Originally, these three objectives were to form a deliverable each, but the deliverables are joined into one since the tasks have been carried out using the CORRie parser for which a formalism for local error rules already exists. Furthermore, the performance of local error rules and context-free grammar rules are intertwined, and therefore best developed side by side. As a first step, in accordance with the proposed order of priority presented in Three Types of Grammatical Errors in Swedish (Wedbjer Rambell 1998, Deliverable 6.2.3, p. 36), the grammar is to handle: agreement within noun phrases exceptions from agreement rules case problems verb sequences certain structural problems A short presentation of the grammar framework is made in the next chapter. The third chapter is focused on the grammar rules for Swedish, which is presented in full detail in Appendix A. The last chapter present what to focus on next in the future work with the grammar checker. 1

5 2 Grammar rules in CORRie The preliminary grammar has been developed in the GramComp framework and will be incorporated in the CORRie system at Uppsala university. The grammar consists of context-free phrase structure rules and local error rules written in accordance with the formalism presented by Vosse in The Word Connection (1994) and in the documentation of the CORRie parser and GramComp. The context-free phrase structure rules are built up with categories and features. An example of such a rule is given in (1) below: NP(Number NPspecies Case) -> DetField(Gender Number NPspecies NNspecies) APOpt(Gender Number NPspecies basic Degree) NN(Gender Number NNspecies Case) (1) From an error detection point of view, they can be implicit or explicit about erroneous language usage. The implicit rules detect an error when the features cannot be unified, and the parsing process continues thanks to feature propagation. The explicit rules (or local error rules), on the other hand, are excepted without needing constraint relaxation for continuing the parsing process. If such a local error rule is used in the parsing process, the error expressed in the rule will be signalled as a result of the parsing. If the parser can use the local error rule (2), the message within quotation marks will be presented as a result of the parsing process: FV( ) -> VB(_ [inf sup] _) "Infinite verb should be a finite verb" (2) Features and rules can be given error weights to govern which parse to be presented as the best alternative. The lower the weight, the better is the parsing result. If no weight is given, it is set to 1 as default. In the local error rule (3), the error weight is set to 3. FV( ) -> "Finite verb is missing":3 (3) By assigning the error weight 5 to the feature taking the values [pres pret] in the example below, the parser prefers the local error rule (2) above since the error weight will thus only be 3. FV(Voice Verbtype) -> VB(Voice [pres pret]:5 Verbtype) (4) The design of the grammar involves choosing between the two approaches for different kinds of errors. In principal, structural errors concerning erroneous sequences of categories are described by local error rules, and non-structural errors concerning feature mis-matching are detected by implicit grammar rules. However, non-structural errors may be described by local error rules as well. The two types of rules are closely connected to each other. For instance, insertion of a local error rule may affect the already existing grammar rules. Therefore, the implicit and the explicit grammar rules will be presented together and not separated into different deliverables. 2

6 3 Grammar rules for Swedish The development of the grammar rules has been based on test sentences collected from the Error Corpora Database (Wedbjer Rambell et al 1998). The test sentences represent error types that should be primarily focused on: agreement problems in noun phrases, case problems, and problems with verb sequences. The sentences show a variety of clause constructions. In connection to this work, lexical information to be stored in the dictionary has been established. The grammar can be found in Appendix A, and the test sentences in Appendix B. The dictionary needed for parsing the test sentences can be found in Appendix C. 3.1 Clauses, verb phrases and verb complements The grammar incorporates declarative clauses with and without inversion. Imperative clauses are also handled, but questions have not been dealt with yet. The declarative clause without inversion contains, in functional terms, a subject, a verb phrase, and an optional subordinate clause: DeklS1 -> NP( [basic subj gen]) VP1 SubSopt (5) The verb phrase VP1 contains a finite verb, an optional clause adverbial, optional infinite verbs, an optional particle, a verb complement, and an optional adverbial: VP1 -> FV([act depon]:3 main) SadvOpt PartOpt Vcomp AdvlOpt (6) There are several VP1 rules to make it possible to handle different types of verb sequences: main finite verb, temporal auxiliary verb + the supine, modal auxiliary verb + the infinitive, and combinations of the auxiliary verbs + main verb. There is also a VP1 rule covering constructions with formal object. The verb complement Vcomp may be empty (for intransitive verbs), it may be a noun phrase (for transitive verb), a personal pronoun + a noun phrase (for bitransitive verbs), or a personal pronoun (for reflexive verbs). It could also be an adjective phrase (functioning as subjective complement), a noun phrase + an adjective phrase (functioning as object and objective complement), an infinitive phrase, a that-clause (att-sats), an adjective phrase + an infinitive phrase, or an adjective phrase + a that-clause. As it is now, verb valency is not used for testing that a verb has been given the correct complements. The verb complements in Vcomp can not be reused in the declarative clauses with inversion in which a verb complement (other than the subject) begins the clause. The Vcomp2 in (7) can be a noun phrase, an adjective phrase, an infinitive phrase, or a that-clause (att-sats). However, the Vcomp are used when the clauses start with an adverbial or a subordinate clause, as in (8). DeklS2 -> Vcomp2 FV(act main) NP( _) SadvOpt PartOpt AdvlOpt (7) DeklS2 -> SubS FV(act main) NP( _) SadvOpt PartOpt Vcomp AdvlOpt (8) There are only one DeklS1 rules but several DeklS2 rules, since different constituents can be put in the first position. Complements in prepositional phrases may stand first: DeklS2 -> NP( [basic obj]) FV(act main) NP( _) SadvOpt Vcomp AdvlOpt PR (9) 3

7 Subordinate clauses that can be handled by the preliminary grammar are that-clauses (attsatser), relative clauses, and other subordinate clauses. There are two types of relative clauses depending on whether the relative pronoun functions as the subject or the object of the relative clause. In these subordinate clauses, the clause adverbial precedes the finite verb, why new verb phrase rules must be introduced. An example of such a rule is given in (10). VP3 -> SadvOpt FV(act:3 main) PartOpt Vcomp AdvlOpt (10) 3.2 Determiners, adjective phrases, and noun phrases The noun phrase may contain a determiner field, an adjective phrase, and a noun phrase, (see example rule 1 above). After the head noun, a participle phrase or a relative clause may follow. When designing rules to cover these options, there are several restrictions and exceptions to consider. The sequence of determiners is quite strict. It can be divided into six determiner types appearing in a certain order: total, determinative, possessive, quantitative, selective, comparative (Loman 1956, Thorell 1974 p. 52). Furthermore, there are two types of determinative determiners: those demanding the head noun to be in the definite form, and those demanding the head noun to be in the indefinite form. The former determinative type and the determiners expressing totality form together Det1. The latter determinative type and the possessive determiners form Det2, which makes the head noun to be indefinite. Finally, the last three determiner types form Det3. The adjective phrase rules have been designed to cover the problems present in the test sentences, and are therefore not so general. To detect erroneous word category of the premodifier (e.g. an adjective should be changed into an adverb), missing comma is used as a signal of the problem. The noun phrase rules cover the species agreement limitations that are invoked by the determiners. Furthermore, case problems are handled, and so are agreement problems with appositions. A tentative approach has been made towards article usage in noun phrases with adjective attribute, and in elliptic noun phrases. 3.3 Adverb phrases, prepositional phrases, and other phrase types The optional adverbial used in the clause rules (e.g. rule example 6 above), may consist of an adverb phrase and/or a prepositional phrase. The clause adverbial may also be a prepositional phrase, since PPs may take that position in the clause. A preposition may take a noun phrase or an infinitive phrase as its complement. Usage of a conjunction instead of a preposition is captured in a local error rule. Punctuation errors may be detected by local error rules. One such rule has been written to handle missing commas in coordination of main clauses. 4

8 4 What to do next The rules for adjective phrases must be rewritten in order to make them more general and accurate. The noun phrase rules may also be revised. Possible positions for comma signs should be marked in the rules. The next main error types to incorporate in the grammar, according to the proposed order of priority (Wedbjer Rambell 1998, p 36) is: verb valency agreement between NP (subject) and AP (subjective complement) noun valency adjective valency pronoun case 5
