  • Conference paper
Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language (PROPOR 2010)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 6001))

Abstract

In this paper we present LXGram, a general purpose grammar for the deep linguistic processing of Portuguese that delivers high precision grammatical analysis and detailed meaning representations. We present the main design features and evaluation results on the grammar’s coverage as well as its ability to produce correct grammatical analyses.
