Events and verb classification*
The prevailing approach to understanding the syntactic mapping of arguments and argument alternations is to assume that verbs are organized into semantically distinct verb classes and that class membership determines the grammaticality of argument alternations. This paper presents syntactic evidence that verb-class membership cannot explain the causative and locative alternations, and that alte...

Automatic Verb Classification Using a General Feature Space Eric Joanis Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2002 We develop a general feature space that can be used for the semantic classification of English verbs. We design a technique to extract these features from a large corpus of English, while trying to maintain portability to other languages—th...
متن کاملStructure and Frequency in Verb Classification
In this paper, we investigate the linguistic relevance of the notion of frequency in theories of lexicon organisation, in particular the definition of verb classes. Traditionally, the subject matter of linguistics has been to develop linguistic representations to describe and explain language as a cognitive process, including language acquisition and language comprehension and production. Theor...
متن کاملWhich are the Best Features for Automatic Verb Classification: a Corpus Study of Levin Verb Classification
Much research in lexical acquisition has concentrated on the hypothesis that the behavior of a verb, particularly with respect to the expression of arguments and the assignment of semantic roles is to a large extent driven by deep semantic regularities. We focus on the empirical basis for a central part of this research, Levin (1993), (which we abbreviate as Levin from now on). The core of Levi...
متن کاملAutomatic verb classification using multilingual resources
We propose the use of multilingual corpora in the automatic classi cation of verbs. We extend the work of (Merlo and Stevenson, 2001), in which statistics over simple syntactic features extracted from textual corpora were used to train an automatic classi er for three lexical semantic classes of English verbs. We hypothesize that some lexical semantic features that are di cult to detect super c...
