The Conjugation of Pashto Compound Verbs

Disambiguating Japanese compound verbs

The purpose of this study is to disambiguate Japanese compound verbs (JCV) based on two methods: (1) a statistical method which makes use of collocational or semantic information about different verb combinations, and (2) a manual rule-based method which utilises verbal and nominal semantic features. We also present a combined method where the output of the statistical method is fed into the ru...

The Aspectual Content Of Compound Verbs

Composition of Compound Verbs in Bangla

The present paper develops a constraint-based mechanism within HPSG framework for composing Indo-Aryan compound verb (CV) constructions with special focus on Bangla CV sequences. Both the member verbs (V1 and V2) in a CV structure are semantically contentful. The combinatorial well-formedness of a CV structure depends on the semantic compatibility between V1 and V2. Therefore the paper proposes...

Unsupervised Identification of Persian Compound Verbs

One of the main tasks related to multiword expressions (MWEs) is compound verb identification. There have been so many works on unsupervised identification of multiword verbs in many languages, but there has not been any conspicuous work on Persian language yet. Persian multiword verbs (known as compound verbs), are a kind of light verb construction (LVC) that have syntactic flexibility such as...

Corpus-based Extraction of Japanese Compound Verbs

We describe two methods for Japanese compound verb (JCV) extraction, based on synthesis and pattern matching over the Google Japanese n-gram corpus. We devise a number of filters to boost the precision of the corpus-based method, and evaluate the two methods based on a sample of JCVs occurring in varying frequency bands. We also investigate the distribution of JCV token frequency, and the type ...
