Is there a way to detect grammatical errors in English text using link-grammer java/javascript API

[Bhaskar Ghosh]

Hello All,

I need to find out what words and sentences are grammatically incorrect. Is it possible by using link-grammar's java API? If yes, request to point me to some example.

In other case, can anyone point me to some java API through which I can accomplish this??

Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

Regards

Bhaskar

Link-grammar will refuse to parse many but not all grammatically
incorrect sentences, presuming that your definition of "grammatically
correct" is standard English newspaper style.

Hello Linas,

Thanks for your reply. But I want to detect the percentage of grammatical errors in a text. Say, I want to get the number of sentences that have grammatical mistakes. Is this possible with link-grammar? Or is there some other tool/api, that I can use to get this feature??

Thanks again.

Yes ? I don't understand the question; can't you just count them?

Okay. But for that my program needs to know which all lines are grammatically incorrect! Is there a api that can give me that?

Yes. If the number of omitted words is greater than zero, that means
that the parser did not find a parse, i.e. the sentence is grammatically
incorrect.
