| Description | This paper shows a practical application resulting from linguistic studies and language engineering. The application takes as input a Czech noun phrase (NP) or prepositional phrase and its case and outputs the same NP in the output case. The algorithm for such declension is described. Its usability is evaluated on a set of 286 (relatively short) corpus examples. The results seem to be promising as 259 of the NPs were judged to be correctly declined. NP were extracted from the corpus using a syntactic parser and the correctness of the respective NPs in different case were evaluated manually. |
