Grammar Checker
Grammar checking is one of the basic activities performed in a typical word processing application. Grammar checking means to ensure that a given piece of text follows the grammar rules of the language in which it is written. This is an entirely automated grammar checking system for the Punjabi language, which to the best of our knowledge is first such elaborate attempt at grammar checking for one of the Indian languages.
The grammar checker performs error checking at phrase and clause levels using grammatical information exhibited by part-of-speech tags in the form of feature value pairs. It can detect a number of grammatical errors in formal Punjabi texts. For most of the detected errors, it provides a list of suggestions. It also provides detailed error information explaining error rule applied along with incorrect and desired values for involved grammatical categories.
