Abstract

While many writing assistance systems can automatically correct grammatical errors, most do not provide any explanation about their suggested corrections. This paper proposes an algorithm that selects example sentences to serve as feedback on preposition usage correction. This algorithm exploits the argument/adjunct distinction to select the most relevant example sentences. Evaluation shows that the use of argumenthood information improves the quality of the selected sentences.
