A Swedish grammar checker (Grammatifix) has been developed at Lingsoft.In Grammatifix, the Swedish Constraint Grammar (SWECG) framework has been applied to the task of detecting grammar errors.After some introductory notes (chapter 1), this paper explains how the SWECG framework has been put to use in Grammatifix (chapter 2).The different components of the system (section 2.1) and the formalism of the error detection rules (section 2.2) will be overviewed, and the relationship between grammar errors and disambiguation will be discussed (section 2.3).Work on the avoidance of false alarms is also described (chapter 3).Finally, test results are reported (chapter 4).
