In "I ate a fish with a fork," the PP could modify the verb or the noun. Jensen and Binot avoid hand-built scripts or frames and instead treat a standard machine-readable dictionary as a semantic knowledge source. Sentences are… 2. **[Parse Fitting and Prose Fixing: Getting a Hold on Ill-Formedness](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jensen-1983-parse-fitting-prose-fixing-getting/)** *(1983 · 95 citations)* A hand-written grammar can never cover all real text. Yet a grammar and style checker needs some structure for every input, including fragments, elliptical sentences, odd punctuation and plain errors. The authors address this within IBM's EPISTLE system, which critiques business English. They split parsing into three… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Disambiguating Prepositional Phrase Attachments by Using On-Line Dictionary Definitions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jensen-1987-disambiguating-prepositional-phrase-attachments-line/) [Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/)**Karen Jensen, Jean-Louis Binot*1987 · 116 citations* 2. **[Parse Fitting and Prose Fixing: Getting a Hold on Ill-Formedness](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jensen-1983-parse-fitting-prose-fixing-getting/) [Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/)**K.
