GLR Parsing for Erroneous Input

  • Chapter
Generalized LR Parsing

Abstract

The Athena Language Learning Project at MIT is developing advanced educational software for use in the language lab by first through fourth semester foreign language learners. This software must be able to recover from and correct a wide range of morphological, syntactic, and semantic errors, and yet still run in real time. We have developed our system over the course of four years and have used it to write grammars for Spanish, English, French, German, Russian, and Classical Greek; the most comprehensive of these is for Spanish, where the grammar contains over five hundred context-free productions and the lexicon contains some 3000 roots.
