摘要: 语法错误自动检查是自然语言处理领域的重要研究课题。尽管前人已经在该领域积累了丰富的经验，但是针对中国学生的英语语法错误自动检查研究尚处在初级阶段。本文对国外自动语法检查系统的理论和方法进行了梳理，详细描述了已有研究所采用的两大主流方法——基于规则的方法和基于统计的方法，并对这两者的优势和问题进行了评述。最后本文指出了今后自动语法检查系统可能采用的方法，并进行了试验，旨在对中国学生英语语法错误自动检查系统的开发提供启示。
Abstract: Automatic detection of grammatical errors is an important research topic in the field of natural language processing. Although previous researches have accumulated a wealth of experience in this field, the automatic detection of grammatical errors for Chinese EFL learners’ English is still in its early stages. By reviewing the theories and methods of the relevant studies, this paper elaborates the two main methods used in the previous researches, i.e. the rule-based approach and the statistic-based approach, and makes a comment on their advantages and potential problems. Finally, the paper puts forward a possible hybrid method of building a system and makes a test, aiming to help develop a grammatical error checking system for Chinese EFL learners.
