Identification of Verb-Particle Constructions in English
We propose different syntax-based methods for automatically identifying verb-particle constructions in English. The methods are based on the Deterministic Finitestate Automaton (DFA), Hidden Markov Model(HMM), and Synchronous ContextFree Grammar (SCFG). Our experiments show that the methods could result in F-score 83.3% over our manually annotated test-set consisting of Wikipedia articles and B...
متن کاملDomain Minimization in English Verb-particle Constructions
The placement of the particle before or after an object in the English verb-particle construction is influenced by a variety of factors. We argue that many of them can be subsumed under a single simple principle, motivated by considerations of processing efficiency: to the extent that the domains of syntactic and semantic dependencies can be minimized, processing is facilitated. We use a more p...
متن کاملClassifying Particle Semantics In English Verb-Particle Constructions
Previous computational work on learning the semantic properties of verb-particle constructions (VPCs) has focused on their compositionality, and has left unaddressed the issue of which meaning of the component words is being used in a given VPC. We develop a feature space for use in classification of the sense contributed by the particle in a VPC, and test this on VPCs using the particle up. Th...
متن کاملVerb-particle constructions in a computational grammar of English
In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of verb-particle constructions, discussing their characteristics and the challenges that they present for a computational grammar. We concentrate our discussion on the treatment adopted in a wide-coverage HPSG grammar: the LinGO ERG. Given the constantly growing number of verb-particle combinations, possible ways of extending this treatment are invest...
متن کاملDetecting Compositionality of English Verb-Particle Constructions using Semantic Similarity
We present a novel method for detecting the compositionality of English verbparticle constructions (VPCs), based on the assumption that compositionality can be modelled with semantic similarity between VPCs and their base verb in isolation. We also evaluate the contribution of components in compositional VPCs using semantic overlap.
