Compositionality in Verb-Particle Constructions
We are developing a broad-coverage deep semantic lexicon for a system that parses sentences into a logical form expressed in a rich ontology that supports reasoning. In this paper we look at verb-particle constructions (VPCs), and the extent to which they can be treated compositionally vs idiomatically. First we distinguish between the different types of VPCs based on their compositionality and...
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.
متن کاملMeasuring compositionality in phrasal verbs
This paper demonstrates how to measure the compositionality of phrasal verbs using corpus frequencies from the BNC. This allows us to distinguish semantically transparent phrasal verbs (they lifted up their hats) from opaque ones (they summed up their feelings). Working by analogy to paradigmatic approaches to morphology (Moscoso del Prado Martín et al 2004), I use information theoretic terms t...
متن کاملIdentification 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...
