A Quasi-Arithmetical Notation for Syntactic Description
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the outlines of a method of syntactic description that is new insofar as it combines methods developed by the Polish logician Kasimir Ajdukiewicz on the one hand and by American structural linguists on the other. Such a combination has apparently not been undertaken before, if only for the reason that Ajdukiewicz's paper appeared in a Polish philosophical journal and has therefore remained unknown to most linguists.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
