Abstract

Description

The main aim of the PhD study "A computational syntactic analysis of Setswana"(AS Berg, May 2018) is the computational syntactic analysis of the Setswana simple sentence, using Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) as framework and XLE as the associated grammar development platform. The computational grammar is tested with a hand-crafted test suite constructed with 828 test items and consists of Setswana phrases and simple sentences. The analyses of these test items are stored in the the following available formats: .SExp for trees, .lfg for functional structures and .pl for trees and functional structures in prolog. The treebank consists of 2903 trees and functional structures for the 828 phrases and sentences.
