Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a system for the detection and correction of syntactic errors in free texts. The system is composed of three main modules: a) a robust syntactic analyser, b) a compiler that will translate error processing rules, and c) a module that coordinates the results of the analyser, applying different combinations of the already compiled error rules. The use of the syntactic analyser (a) and the rule processor (b) is independent and not necessarily sequential. The specification language used for the description of the error detection/correction rules is abstract, general, declarative, and based on linguistic information.
