متن کاملCorrecting ESL Errors Using Phrasal SMT Techniques
This paper presents a pilot study of the use of phrasal Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) techniques to identify and correct writing errors made by learners of English as a Second Language (ESL).

Possible ways of extending the coverage of this grammar are analysed and proposed, taking into account the regular pattern...

Phrasal verbs have been shown to be a problematic area of learning English as a foreign language due to their semantic op...
