A Layered Taxonomy for Chinese Learner Grammatical Error Annotation

Grammatical error annotation in Chinese learner writing requires labels that are both consistent and linguistically meaningful. This paper proposes a layered scheme linking computational Chinese grammatical error correction (CGEC) with pedagogical error analysis. The scheme first identifies character- and punctuation-level orthographic errors, labeling them by edit operation and subtype. Other errors receive a three-layer core label combining edit operation, linguistic domain, and part of speech, with optional Chinese-specific extensions for aspect, modality, comparison, argument structure, and complements. Drawing on CGEC resources, learner-error taxonomies, and Mandarin grammar, the taxonomy is evaluated through a coverage analysis of automatically extracted MuCGEC edits and a preliminary consistency study in which five large language models apply it to a sample. The results support the layered approach while identifying category boundaries requiring further refinement.

Representing and Parsing Korean Constituency Structure at Different Levels of Granularity

Korean constituency parsing raises a representational challenge because the terminal units of a phrase-structure tree do not straightforwardly correspond to simple surface words. Korean eojeols are morphologically complex spacing units, and existing constituency resources differ in how they represent eojeol-internal morphology and non-overt elements. This paper compares three constituency parsing representations derived from the Penn Korean Treebank: Morpheme+XPOS, Eojeol+XPOS, and Eojeol+UPOS. We construct these representations by removing null elements, aligning Penn Korean phrase structure with overt eojeol tokens, preserving Penn Korean phrase labels where possible, and varying the terminal and preterminal layers. We then evaluate canonical non-binary transition-based constituency parsers in top-down, in-order, and bottom-up orders under a shared modeling and evaluation setup. All experiments use gold terminal segmentation and gold preterminal labels and therefore evaluate constituency parsing conditioned on gold morphosyntactic annotation. Eojeol terminals yield shorter transition sequences, but Eojeol+UPOS parsing substantially underperforms the morphologically richer conditions. Eojeol+XPOS narrows this gap, while Morpheme+XPOS gives the strongest results even after its predictions are projected to the eojeol terminal domain. Under these gold-annotation conditions, the results show that fine-grained morphological and XPOS representations provide valuable evidence for the evaluated parsers. This empirical finding concerns the information available for parsing and does not by itself determine the linguistically preferable terminal domain. Independently, linguistic and resource-design considerations motivate eojeol as a stable and interpretable surface domain for phrase-structure annotation, with morpheme-level and XPOS information retained as aligned morphosyntactic evidence.

Lexically conditioned realization ambiguity in Korean predicate morphology

This paper examines Korean surface realization as distinct from morphological analysis. It asks whether a sequence of canonical morphemes and grammatical category labels uniquely determines the corresponding surface form. The answer is negative for a restricted but theoretically revealing class of Korean predicates. In these cases, formally identical or near-identical stem-ending configurations yield different outputs depending on lexical identity and realization class membership. We analyze this phenomenon as homonymy with inflectional divergence, focusing on regular versus digeut irregular pairs, regular versus bieup irregular pairs, and reu irregular versus reo irregular pairs. These cases show that stem shape and ending alone do not always determine surface realization. Instead, lexical meaning, subcategorization, and semantic role structure help identify the intended predicate; the predicate determines the realization class; and the realization class determines the surface form. Korean realization thus reveals a limit of bare morphological representation.
