Abstract
This paper presents a guideline for the construction of formal grammar for the Malagasy language. The used method is based on a deterministic approach given that reliable corpora are not yet available for Malagasy. The main purpose of formal grammar is language recognition which will be the keystone of an automatic grammar checker. Jointly used with an existing part-of-speech-tagger, a grammar checker will bring us further by facilitating the automatic creation of reliable corpora which in turn will boost the Malagasy automatic processing.
