Treelex Meets Adjectival Tables
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents Treelex, a valence lexicon of French adjectives automatically extracted from a treebank. The corpus contains morphological and syntactic annotations but no subcategorisation information is present for adjectives. Due to rich corpus annotations, our extraction method is guided by linguistic knowledge. The obtained lexicon (about 2000 adjectives and 40 frames) has been evaluated against hand-crafted adjectival tables described in [13] and achieved 0.46

Growing TreeLex
TreeLex is a subcategorization lexicon of French, automatically extracted from a syntactically annotated corpus. The lexicon comprises 2006 verbs (25076 occurrences). The goal of the project is to obtain a list of subcategorization frames of contemporary French verbs and to estimate the number of different verb frames available in French in general. A few more frames are discovered when the cor...
متن کاملGenerating Paraphrases of Human Intransitive Adjective Constructions with Port4NooJ
This paper details the integration into Port4NooJ of 15 lexicon-grammar tables describing the distributional properties of 4,248 human intransitive adjectives. The properties described in these tables enable the recognition and generation of semantico-syntactically equivalent adjectival constructions where the adjective has a predicative function. These properties also establish semantic relati...
متن کاملClassification Of Adjectival And Non-Adjectival Nouns Based On Their Semantic Behavior By Using A Self-Organizing Semantic Map
We treat nouns that behave adjectively, which we call adjectival nouns, extracted from large corpora. For example, in “financial world” and “world of finance,” “financial” and “finance” are different parts of speech, but their semantic behaviors are similar to each other. We investigate how adjectival nouns are similar to adjectives and different from non-adjectival nouns by using self-organizi...
متن کاملSelf-organizing Conceptual Map and Taxonomy of Adjectives
This paper presents a comprehensive, corpus-based study of adjectival concepts. An adjectival concept is a semantic class of adjectives, for example, “adjectives which express feeling”. We represent adjectival concepts by abstract nouns (such as “feeling”), and extract instances where abstract nouns are modified by adjectives (such as “happy feeling”) from a large corpus of Japanese newspaper a...
متن کاملAdjectives in TreeLex
The paper presents an ongoing project on automatic extraction of subcategorization frames of French adjectives. The extraction method is guided by syntactic corpus annotations and heuristic rules. In particular, we use general linguistic knowledge to distinguish constituents inherent to impersonal, comparative and certain adverbial constructions from subcategorized complements.
