"text": "lexicalized tree adjoining grammars (FB-LTAG) [1] . In FB-LTAG, each lexical item is associated with a syntactic elementary tree, in which each node is associated with a set of feature-value pairs, called Attribute Value Matrices (AVMs). AVMs define the lexical item's syntactic usage. Our syntactic error detection works by checking the AVM values of all lexical items within a sentence using a unification framework. Thus, we use the feature structures in the AVMs to detect the error type and corresponding words. In order to simultaneously detect multiple error types and track their corresponding words, we propose a new unification method which allows the unification procedure to continue when unification fails and also to propagate the failure information to relevant words. We call the modified unification a fail propagation unification. Our approach features: 1) the use of XTAG grammar [2] , a rule-based English grammar developed by linguists using the FB-LTAG formalism, 2) the ability to simultaneously detect multiple ungrammatical types and their corresponding words by using FB-LTAG's feature unifications, and 3) the ability to simultaneously correct multiple ungrammatical types based on the detection information. dynamically reference the grammar. In our procedure for syntactic error detection, we first decomposes each sentence hypothesis parse tree into elementary trees, followed by associating each elementary tree with AVMs through look-up in the XTAG grammar, and finally reconstruct the original parse tree out of the elementary trees using substitution and adjunction operations along with AVM unifications with fail propagation ability. Once error types and their corresponding words are detected, one is able to correct errors based on a unified consideration of all related words under the same error types. In this paper, we present some simple mechanism to handle part of the detected situations. We use our approach to detect and correct translations of six single statistical machine translation systems.",
