To help SP developers improve their systems, we propose a flexible error typology based on an analysis of a sample of non-prescriptive language uses mined from a domain-specific chatbot logs. This typology is not tied to any specific language model. We also present a framework for automatically mapping these errors to the typology.

This paper discusses the challenges non-prescriptive language uses in chatbot communication create for Semantic Parsing (SP).

Finally, we show how our framework can help evaluate SP systems from a linguistic robustness perspective.
