Datorstödd inlärning av grammatik och språkteori - Stp

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to expand an already existing, but not
complete, grammar to handle Swedish Verb-Particle combinations. The
term Swedish Verb-Particle is used to refer to verb phrases consisting of
a simple verb followed by a verbal particle, as in slå upp (telefonnumret)
‘look up (the phone number)’. The syntax of such verb phrases and the
position of verbal particles in a main clause is described and their
dependency structure is examined on the basis of an empirically based
investigation. The main idea is to consider verbal particles as functions,
rather than as parts of speech. I argue that, in syntactic dependency, the
particle is dependent on the verb, unlike in semantic dependency where
the particle is analyzed as a part of the verb to which it is attached.
Theoretical and practical problems involved in implementing verbparticle
combinations into a Swedish grammar model is discussed. The
model used is based on Object-Oriented Programming, dependency
grammar and unification, and is explained in some detail. This Swedish
grammar model is part of the project "Computer-aided learning of
grammar and language theory" at the University of Stockholm and is
intended as an instrument for learning and understanding grammar and
linguistic theory.
