  abstract  = {In this paper, we present a method for extracting Synchronous Grammar Patterns
	(SGPs) from a given parallel corpus in order to assisted second language
	learners in writing.
	A grammar pattern consists of a head word (verb, noun, or adjective) and its
	syntactic environment. 
	A synchronous grammar pattern describes a grammar pattern in the target
	language (e.g., English) and its counterpart in an other language (e.g.,
	Mandarin), serving the purpose of native language support.
	Our method involves identifying the grammar patterns in the target language,
	aligning these patterns with the target language patterns, and finally
	filtering valid SGPs.
	The extracted SGPs with examples are then used to develop a prototype  writing
	assistant system, called WriteAhead/bilingual.
	Evaluation on a set of randomly selected SGPs shows that our system provides
	satisfactory writing suggestions for English as a Second Language (ESL)
	learners.},
