Abstract
“Analyzing long and complicated sentences has always been a priority and challenge in Englishlearning. In order to conduct the parse of these sentences for Chinese English as Second Lan-guage (ESL) learners, we design the English Sentence Pattern Structure (ESPS) based on theSentence Diagramming theory. Then, we automatically construct the English Sentence PatternStructure Treebank (ESPST) through the method of rule conversion based on constituency struc-ture and evaluate the conversion results. In addition, we set up two comparative experiments,using trained parser and large language models (LLMs). The results prove that the rule-basedconversion approach is effective.”
