Identification and handling of dialectal variation with a single grammar
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a study on approaches to handle variation in a deep natural language processing formalism. It allows a grammar to be parameterized as to what language variants it accepts, but also to detect such variants. In this respect, we compare it to standard language identification methods, employed here to detect variation in the same language.
