Abstract

This paper discusses the characteristics and evaluation of the very first North Sámi (light) grammar checker. In addition to spelling errors, it checks and corrects punctuation errors, compound errors and white space errors. All error detection and correction, including context-aware filtering of spelling suggestions, is performed by Constraint Grammar modules at all stages of the process.
