Abstract
We present the first rule-based L1 grammar checker for Lule Sámi. Releasing a Lule Sámi grammar checker has direct consequences for language revitalization. Our primary intention is therefore to support language users in their writing and their confidence to use the language. We release a version of the tool for MS Word and GoogleDocs that corrects six grammatical error types. For the benefit of the user, the selection of error types is based on frequency of the errors and the quality of our tool. Our most successful error correction, for a phonetically and syntactically motivated copula error, reaches a precision of 96%.- Anthology ID:
