Abstract
The paper presents a modification — aimed at highly inflectional languages — of a recently proposed error detection method for syntactically annotated corpora. The technique described below is based on Synchronous Tree Substitution Grammar (STSG), i.e. a kind of tree transducer grammar. The method involves induction of STSG rules from a treebank and application of their subset meeting a certain criterion to the same resource. Obtained results show that the proposed modification can be successfully used in the task of error detection in a treebank of an inflectional language such as Polish.
