Processing Korean Numeral Classifier Constructions in a Typed Feature Structure Grammar

چکیده
Abstract. The syntactic and semantic complexity of the so-called numeral classifier (Num-Cl) constructions in Korean challenges theoretical as well as computational linguists. We provide a constraint-based analysis of these constructions within the framework of HPSG with the semantic representations of MRS (Minimal Recursion Semantics) and reports its implementation in the LKB (Linguistic Knowledge Building) system.

Syntax and Semantics of Korean Numeral Classifier Constructions
As given in the raising (2a) and causative (2b), the Num-CL sey myeng ‘three CL’ can have a different case marking from its antecedent, functioning as the matrix object. In a sense, it is linked to the original grammatical function of the raised object and the causee, respectively. Central issues in deep-parsing numeral classifier constructions thus concern how to generate such FQ constructions...
متن کاملParsing Korean Comparative Constructions in a Typed-Feature Structure Grammar
Jong-Bok Kim, Jaehyung Yang, and Sanghoun Song. 2010. Parsing Korean Comparative Constructions in a Typed-Feature Structure Grammar. Language and Information 14.1 , 1–24. The complexity of comparative constructions in each language has given challenges to both theoretical and computational analyses. This paper first identifies types of comparative constructions in Korean and discusses their mai...
متن کاملArgument Composition in Korean Serial Verb Constructions ∗
The so-called serial verb construction (SVC) is a complex predicate structure consisting of two or more verbal heads but denotes one single event. This paper discusses the grammatical properties of Korean SVCs and provides a lexicalist, construction-based analysis couched in the typed-feature structure grammar, HPSG. In particular, we identify four different types of the SVCs in Korean, each of...
متن کاملTwo Types of Korean Light Verb Constructions in a Typed Feature Structure Grammar
In this paper, I present a lexical representation of the light verb ha 'do' used in two types of Korean light verb constructions (LVCs). These two types of the constructions have the typical theoretical and implementation problems as multiword expressions (MWEs): lexical proliferation of the possible light verb senses in the lexicon, potential overgeneration of illformed LVCs, and the semantic ...
متن کاملKorean Phrase Structure Grammar and Its Implementations into the LKB System
Though there exist various morphological analysers developed for Korean, no serious attempts have been made to build its syntactic or semantic parser(s), partly because of its structural complexity and partly because of the existence of no reliable grammar-build up system. This paper presents a result of our on-going project to build up a computationally feasible Korean Phrase Structure Grammar...
