Description

The SWECG software consists of independent parts, the most important of which are

• SWETWOL-2 - Morphological Description of Swedish
• SWECG 1.0 - Swedish Constraint Grammar.

SWETWOL-2 is a comprehensive morphological description of Swedish made according to the Two-Level formalism. It consists of a set of finite-state rule automata and a dictionary where a typical entry covers all inflectional forms of one word, and possibly also some words derived from the entry.

SWECG 1.0 is a program containing surface-oriented syntactic description of Swedish grammar. In the version 1.0, the grammar consists of some 2200 rules for word-form (part-of-speech) disambiguation, and some 400 rules for syntactic tagging.
