Development of an English Grammar Checker: A Progress Report.

Liou, Hsien-Chin

CALICO Journal, v9 n1 p57-70 Fall 1991

A computer grammar checker is described that evolved from a sample of errors and resulting in a taxonomy of 14 main and 93 subtypes. Using a 1,402-word stem electronic dictionary, an augmented transition network parser, and a set of disambiguating rules, the checker provides feedback for 7 types of errors.
