CATCG: a general purpose parsing tool applied

Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)

Abstract

This paper focuses on the language processing tool being developed at our centre and briefly describes two of its applications. CATCG, our morphosyntactic analyser, is designed to deal with general written Catalan text. In CATCG the whole processing task has been divided into specific subtasks and for each one of them we try to apply the best strategy available. The most relevant properties of our system are its robustness, the fact that we have given reusability a very high priority, and the goal of acquiring linguistic information by fully automatic means.
