Conversion et améliorations de corpus du français annotés en Universal Dependencies

International audienceThis paper describes an effort to improve the consistency of two French corpora annotated with the Universal Dependencies (UD) scheme. The Universal Dependencies project aims at building a syntactic dependency scheme which allows similar analyses for several different languages. We improved the annotations of the two French corpora to render them closer to the UD scheme, and evaluated the changes done to the corpora in terms of closeness to the UD scheme as well as of internal corpus consistency.Cet article décrit l'effort d'amélioration de deux corpus du français annotés en dépendances syntaxiques, qui s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet Universal Dependencies (UD) qui vise à élaborer un schéma d'annotation syntaxique permettant d'analyser de façon similaire plusieurs langues différentes.

PLPrepare: A Grammar Checker for Challenging Cases

This study investigates one of the Polish language’s most arbitrary cases: the genitive masculine inanimate singular. It collects and ranks several guidelines to help language learners discern its proper usage and also introduces a framework to provide detailed feedback regarding arbitrary cases. The study tests this framework by implementing and evaluating a hybrid grammar checker called PLPrepare. PLPrepare performs similarly to other grammar checkers and is able to detect genitive case usages and provide feedback based on a number of error classifications
