Abstract

Syntax analysis is the process of checking grammatical correctness of sentence by determining the relationship among words present in the given sentence. This paper proposes a syntax analyzer for Kannada sentences using (Kaaraka) framework. This proposed work is tested on stories and novels dataset from Enabling Minority Language Engineering (EMILLE) corpus and obtained an accuracy of 75%. Syntax analyzer is an essential tool in most of the natural language processing (NLP) applications like machine translation system, word sense disambiguation, and question and answering.
