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 کاملDifferentiating Types of Verb Particle Constructions
A verb particle construction (VPC) classification scheme gleaned from linguistic sources has been used to assess its usefulness for identifying issues in decomposability. Linguistic sources have also been used to inform the features suitable for use in building an automatic classifier for the scheme with a series of good performance results. The notions of how to define the task of computing ph...
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 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.
