Accommodating Language Variation in Deep Processing

Antóonio Branco and Francisco Costa

Abstract

We present an approach to handle variation in deep linguistic processing. It allows a grammar to be parameterized as to what language variants it accepts, but also to detect the variant of the input. We also report on the evaluation of this approach by making it detect the dialect of input sentences extracted from corpora of two different dialects.
