Pascal Vaillant

TL;DR
This paper presents an initial computational model of Martiniquese Creole grammar using unification grammar formalism, aiming to support automatic text generation and language learning tools.
Contribution
It introduces a novel formal grammar model for Martiniquese Creole based on Tree Adjoining Grammars and lexical categories, enabling automatic text generation.
Findings
Developed a prototype text generation system for Creole
Demonstrated potential as a language learning support tool
Integrated functional grammatical descriptions into computational model
Abstract
In this article, some first elements of a computational modelling of the grammar of the Martiniquese French Creole dialect are presented. The sources of inspiration for the modelling is the functional description given by Damoiseau (1984), and Pinalie's & Bernabe's (1999) grammar manual. Based on earlier works in text generation (Vaillant, 1997), a unification grammar formalism, namely Tree Adjoining Grammars (TAG), and a modelling of lexical functional categories based on syntactic and semantic properties, are used to implement a grammar of Martiniquese Creole which is used in a prototype of text generation system. One of the main applications of the system could be its use as a tool software supporting the task of learning Creole as a second language. -- Nous pr\'esenterons dans cette communication les premiers travaux de mod\'elisation informatique d'une grammaire de la langue…
