Correcting incomplete negation errors in French language text
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of correcting negation errors in a French language text, comprising:
- generating a syntax record of a verbal phrase of the text, the syntax record including records of words in the verbal phrase, lexicon information for the words, and syntax attributes for the words;
searching the syntax record for a missing particle “
ne/n'"'"'”
;
if the particle “
ne/n'"'"'”
is not found, calculating a syntactically correct insertion point for the particle “
ne/n'"'"'”
; and
displaying to the user a rewrite of a correct form of the particle “
ne/n'"'"'”
at the insertion point.

Abstract
A computer-implemented grammar checker for French language text corrects negation errors (missing particle “ne/n'"'"'”) in French language text. A parser generates a syntax record of a verbal phrase of the text. The syntax record includes records of words in the verbal phrase, lexicon information for the words, and syntax attributes for the words. The grammar checker searches the syntax record for a missing particle “ne/n'"'"'”. If the particle “ne/n'"'"'” is not found, the grammar checker calculates a syntactically correct insertion point for the particle “ne/n'"'"'”. The grammar checker displays to the user a rewrite of a correct form of the particle “ne/n'"'"'” at the insertion point.

9. A computer system configured to correct negation errors in a French language text, comprising:
-
a parser adapted to receive a verbal phrase of the text and providing a syntax record including records of words in the verbal phrase, lexicon information for the words, and syntax attributes for the words;
