Comprehensive Annotation of Multiword Expressions in a Social Web Corpus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiword expressions (MWEs) are quite frequent in languages such as English, but their diversity, the scarcity of individual MWE types, and contextual ambiguity have presented obstacles to corpus-based studies and NLP systems addressing them as a class. Here we advocate for a comprehensive annotation approach: proceeding sentence by sentence, our annotators manually group tokens into MWEs according to guidelines that cover a broad range of multiword phenomena. Under this scheme, we have fully annotated an English web corpus for multiword expressions, including those containing gaps.

Can Recognising Multiword Expressions Improve Shallow Parsing?
There is significant evidence in the literature that integrating knowledge about multiword expressions can improve shallow parsing accuracy. We present an experimental study to quantify this improvement, focusing on compound nominals, proper names and adjectivenoun constructions. The evaluation set of multiword expressions is derived from WordNet and the textual data are downloaded from the web...

In this paper we describe a framework for classifying and annotating Egyptian Arabic Multiword Expressions (EMWE) in a specialized computational lexical resource. The framework intends to encompass comprehensive linguistic information for each MWE including: a. phonological and orthographic information; b.

متن کاملLexical Semantic Analysis in Natural Language Text
Computer programs that make inferences about natural language are easily fooled by the often haphazard relationship between words and their meanings. This thesis develops Lexical Semantic Analysis (LxSA), a general-purpose framework for describing word groupings and meanings in context. LxSA marries comprehensive linguistic annotation of corpora with engineering of statistical natural language ...
