Abstract

Grammatical ambiguity is one of the problems to be solved when preparing a morphosyntactic analyzer because when they are not solved, users have to spend a lot of time removing them manually. In Ukrainian, ambiguities result from grammatical homonymy, which affects all grammatical classes. The grammatical homonyms that make up a homonymous pair or set may belong to different classes but also to a single class or paradigm. In this article, we will outline the typology of grammatical homonyms in Ukrainian and present some contextual grammars for disambiguation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Animate = living being, inanimate = object or concept.

  2. 2.

    The transition from masculine to feminine nouns can only be made through derivation, which involves deeper morphological changes.

  3. 3.

    At NooJ, the ALU operator means ‘all language units’.

  4. 4.

    The nucleus is not distinguished from the peripheral members, as this grammar completes the previous one.
