Abstract

This paper presents the general architecture of Curupira, a general-purpose robust parser for Brazilian Portuguese (BP). As a former part of a grammar and style checker, Curupira aims at providing the set of all possible syntactic analyses for any sequence of words written in BP irrespective of its meaningfulness and grammaticality. The paper addresses the system features and presents some partial results for a corpus comprising Brazilian newspaper web pages.
