TL;DR
The design of Comlex Syntax is described, a computational lexicon providing detailed syntactic information for approximately 38,000 English headwords, and the types of errors which arise in creating such a lexicon are considered.
Abstract
We describe the design of Comlex Syntax, a computational lexicon providing detailed syntactic information for approximately 38,000 English headwords. We consider the types of errors which arise in creating such a lexicon, and how such errors can be measured and controlled.

It is shown that statistical filtering of the results of a finite state parser running on the output of a stochastic tagger produces high quality results, despite the error rates of the tagger and the parser.

This paper describes an approach based on two principles, rely on local morpho-syntactic cues to structure rather than trying to parse entire sentences, and treat these cues as probabilistic rather than absolute indicators of syntactic structure.
