Abstract
The Sentence-based Grammar System which was created by linguist Jinxi Li, is one of the most representative Chinese grammar systems. After reviewing the outline of Li’s Grammar Theory including some viewpoints on syntax, morphology and diagrammatic parsing method, the paper illustrated the formalization idea of the Sentence-based Grammar System from the perspective of Chinese Information Processing, and designed an annotation schema for contemporary Chinese sentence structure. Then a visual annotation tool was implemented, and a Treebank was built up by analyzing 11 thousand sentences from some Chinese text books. The fact that all these sentences can be analyzed and modeled within the annotation schema proves the correctness and completeness of Li’s grammar system, and our work also provides the basic resources and theory for the study of Automatic Parsing and Machine Translation.
