Class-Based Construction of a Verb Lexicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to building a verb lexicon compatible with WordNet but with explicitly stated syntactic and semantic information, using Levin verb classes to systematically construct lexical entries. By using verb classes we capture generalizations about verb behavior and reduce the effort needed to construct the lexicon. The syntactic frames for the verb classes are represented by a Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar augmented with semantic predicates, which allows a compositional interpretation.

Building a class-based verb lexicon using TAGs
We present a class-based approach to building a verb lexicon that makes explicit the close relation between syntax and semantics for Levin classes. We have used a Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar to capture the syntax associated with each verb class and have added semantic predicates to each tree, which allow for a compositional interpretation.
متن کاملIntegrating compositional semantics into a verb lexicon
We present a class-based approach to building a verb lexicon that makes explicit the close association between syntax and semantics for Levin classes. We have used Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars to capture the syntax associated with each verb class and have augmented the trees to include selectional restrictions. In addition, semantic predicates are associated with each tree, which allow f...

متن کاملHybrid Methods for Acquisition of Lexical Information: the Case for Verbs
Improved automatic text understanding requires detailed linguistic information about the words that comprise the text. Particularly crucial is the knowledge about predicates, typically verbs, which communicate both the event being expressed and how participants are related to the event. Although the field of natural language processing (NLP) has yet to develop a clear consensus on guidelines fo...
متن کاملSyntactic Lexicon of Polish Predicative Nouns
In the paper we report realization of SyntLex project aiming at construction of a full lexicon grammar for Polish. The lexicongrammar based paradigm in computer linguistics is derived from the predicate logic and attributes a central role to the predicative constructions. An important class of syntactic constructions in many languages (French, English, Polish and other Slavonic languages in par...
