Valency Lexicon for Czech: From Verbs to Nouns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Valency lexicon of Czech verbs has been intensively worked on for more than a year, and now we have at our disposal a detailed description of valency frames of several hundreds verbs. Presently, the challenge naturally arises, to use the existing lexicon for capturing valency of other word classes. In this paper, we focus on valency of nouns derived from verbs. We propose an algorithm for automatic prediction of valency frames of these nouns, and we test it on a sample of data.

The Representation of Czech Light Verb Constructions in a Valency Lexicon
Light verb constructions (LVCs) pose a serious challenge for both theoretical and applied linguistics as their syntactic structures are not solely determined by verbs alone but also by predicative nouns. In this contribution, we introduce an initial step to a new formal lexicographic representation of LVCs for the valency lexicon of Czech verbs, VALLEX. The main idea underlying our representati...
متن کاملEnriching a Valency Lexicon by Deverbative Nouns
In this paper, we present an attempt to automatically identify Czech deverbative nouns using several methods that use large corpora as well as existing lexical resources. The motivation for the task is to extend a verbal valency (i.e., predicate-argument) lexicon by adding nouns that share the valency properties with the base verb, assuming their properties can be derived (even if not trivially...
متن کاملLexicographic Description of Czech Complex Predicates: Between Lexicon and Grammar
In this paper, we propose a representation of Czech complex predicates with light verbs in a valency lexicon. We demonstrate that if such a representation is to be theoretically adequate and at the same time economical, the information on complex predicates should be divided between two components of the lexicon, a data component and a grammar component. The data component stores all the inform...
متن کاملReflexive Verbs in a Valency Lexicon: The Case of Czech Reflexive Morphemes
In this paper, we deal with Czech reflexive verbs from the lexicographic point of view. We show that the Czech reflexive morphemes se and si constitute different linguistic meanings: either they are formal means of the word formation process of the so called reflexivization, or they are associated with the syntactic phenomena of reflexivity, reciprocity, and diatheses. All of these processes ar...
متن کاملValency Lexicon of Czech Verbs: Towards Formal Description of Valency and Its Modeling in an Electronic Language Resource
Valency refers to the capacity of verb (or a word belonging to another part of speech) to take a specific number and type of syntactically dependent language units. Valency information is thus related to particular lexemes and as such it is necessary to describe valency characteristics for separate lexemes in the form of lexicon entries. A valency lexicon is indispensable for any complex Natura...
