| Abstract | This paper presents the development of an open-source Spanish DependencyGrammar implemented in FreeLing environment. This grammar was designed as aresource for NLP applications that require a step further in natural languageautomatic analysis, as is the case of Spanish-to-Basque translation. Thedevelopment of wide-coverage rule-based grammars using linguistic knowledgecontributes to extend the existing Spanish deep parsers collection, whichsometimes is limited. Spanish FreeLing Dependency Grammar, named EsTxala,provides deep and robust parse trees, solving attachments for any structure andassigning syntactic functions to dependencies. These steps are dealt withhand-written rules based on linguistic knowledge. As a result, FreeLingDependency Parser gives a unique analysis as a dependency tree for eachsentence analyzed. Since it is a resource open to the scientific community,exhaustive grammar evaluation is being done to determine its accuracy as wellas strategies for its manteinance and improvement. In this paper, we show theresults of an experimental evaluation carried out over EsTxala in order to testour evaluation methodology. |
