This work presents the development of a system that detects incorrect uses of complex postpositions in Basque, an agglutinative language. Error detection in complex postpositions is interesting because: 1) the context of detection is limited to a few words; 2) it implies the interaction of multiple levels of linguistic processing (morphology, syntax and semantics). So, the system must deal with problems ranging from tokenization and ambiguity to syntactic agreement and examination of local contexts. The evaluation was performed in order to test both incorrect uses of postpositions and also false alarms. 1
