Norwegian Grammar Checking

On clicking on the icon below, you will come to an automatic parser for Norwegian designed to provide grammaticality feedback for sentences of your choice.

In the window that comes up, write a sentence into the open mask, and push the button 'Analyze'.

If the string you write is grammatically wellformed, you will get the response:

          A wellformed Norwegian sentence


Error feedback:

If the string is ungrammatical, the system will inform you in what respect it is so. For instance, for the ungrammatical string (the '*' in front signals that it is ungrammatical)

          * Jeg liker du.

where "du" is used as an object, while this form can only be used as a subject, one gets the message:

      The word "du" is marked with the wrong case, try using "deg" instead. 


Suggested correct form:

Accompanying an error message, there is a small square with a number inside. By clicking on this square, one can get a new window showing the recommended version of the intended sentence, in the present case:

         Jeg liker deg.

To write a new sentence for feedback, return to the window prior to the latter window.


You can in principle use sentences of any length, but for the purpose of getting rapid feedback and precise advice about what (if anything) is wrong, short sentences are recommended. However, they should be grammatically full sentences, and ended with punctuation. Moreover, the following constraints are currently imposed:

- Imperative verb forms are not accepted.

- Interjections (like "yes", "hi!", and so) are not accepted.

- The array of verbs and adjectives that can be used is virtually unlimited, but for nouns, we recommend that you currently stay within the following set:

mann, dame, jente, gutt, katt, ball, hus, fjell, mat, ....


Apart from the the feedback that the input string is a grammatical sentence, or that a specific grammatical error has been found, the parser may also inform you that a given lexical item is not in the lexicon used. Moreover, there will be cases where the grammar recognizes a string as ungrammatical, but no specific message has been designed - in such case the interface simply says "Ungrammatical in Norwegian".

Usage of the grammar checker

For use of the system in a language learning context, see A Norwegian Grammar Sparrer.


Phenomena for which you can get feedback, and possible feedback messages

For an overview of phenomena for which you can get articulated error feedback, please go to the following page: Grammar sparring phenomena

For an overview of feedback messages available, go to Feedback messages.
