title = "Extended cfg formalism for grammar checker and parser development",
abstract = "This paper reports on the implementation of grammar checkers and parsers for highly inflected and under-resourced languages. As classical context free grammar (CFG) formalism performs poorly on languages with a rich morphological feature system, we have extended the CFG formalism by adding syntactic roles, lexical constraints, and constraints on morpho-syntactic feature values. The formalism also allows to assign morpho-syntactic feature values to phrases and to specify optional constituents. The paper also describes how we are implementing the grammar checker by using two sets of rules - rules describing correct sentences and rules describing grammar errors. The same engine with a different rule set can be used for the different purposes - to parse the text or to find the grammar errors. The paper also describes the implementation of Latvian and Lithuanian parsers and grammar checkers and the quality measurement methods used for the quality assessment.",
