Summary

In this paper, we propose that grammar error detection be disambiguated in generating the connected parse(s) of optimal merit for the full input utterance, in overcoming the cheapest error. The detected error(s) are described as violated grammatical constraints in a framework for Model-Theoretic Syntax (MTS). We present a parsing algorithm for MTS, which only relies on a grammar of well-formedness, in that the process does not require any extra-grammatical resources, additional rules for constraint relaxation or error handling, or any recovery process.
