Function, geometry and spatial prepositions: Three experiments
In this paper the results of three experiments are reported which address the issue of the relative extent to which functional relations versus geometric relations affect spatial language. The experiments examine the role of a discourse context on the use and rating of the preposition in to describe a visual scene where the constraint of spatial containment between figure (object located) and g...
متن کاملLicensing Complex Prepositions Via Lexical Constraints
In this paper, we will investigate a cross-linguistic phenomenon referred to as complex prepositions (CPs), which is a frequent type of multiword expressions (MWEs) in many languages. Based on empirical data, we will point out the problems of the traditional treatment of CPs as complex lexical categories, and, thus, propose an analysis using the formal paradigm of the HPSG in the tradition of (...
متن کاملDeQue: A Lexicon of Complex Prepositions and Conjunctions in French
We introduce DeQue, a lexicon covering French complex prepositions (CPRE) like à partir de (from) and complex conjunctions (CCONJ) like bien que (although). The lexicon includes fine-grained linguistic description based on empirical evidence. We describe the general characteristics of CPRE and CCONJ in French, with special focus on syntactic ambiguity. Then, we list the selection criteria used ...
متن کاملOn Representing Governed Prepositions and Handling "Incorrect" and Novel Prepositions
NLP systems, in order to be robust, must handle novel and i l l formed input . One common type of error involves the use of non-s tandard preposit ions to mark arguments . In this paper, we argue that such errors can be handled in a systematic fashion, and that a system designed to handle them offers other advantages. We o f f e r a c lass i f i ca t ion scheme for preposi t ion usage errors. F...
متن کاملA New Application for Raising in HPSG: Complex Prepositions
One of the most popular techniques used in HPSG-based studies to describe linguistic phenomena is the raising mechanism. Besides ordinary raising verbs or adjectives, this tool has been applied for handling verbal complexes and discontinuous constituents, among other phenomena. In this paper, a new application for raising within the HPSG paradigm will be discussed, thereby investigating data fr...
