Abstract

This paper presents the methodology followed in the construction of a surface-based morphosyntactic parsing grammar as well as the results obtained. It is based on the Constraint Grammar formalism which we find suitable for our project of analysing unrestricted texts. Besides, we will present a description of the main types of morphosyntactic ambiguity that we have identified for Basque and the disambiguation rules designed for their treatment. This work is the first step in the computational treatment of syntax.
