AbstractThe purpose of this study is to develop a microcomputer-based expert system to detect grammatical errors in English sentences written by nonnative English speakers. The parts of speech considered are verbs and articles. The algorithm used follows reasoning first developed by Winograd and Naomi Sager. Their approaches involved using rules for sentence construction and checking wellformedness of sentences by application of restrictions. In this study these two separate parts are combined and used together. This step facilitates the implementation on microcomputers. PROLOG is used as the programming language.
