Light Verb Constructions in the SzegedParalellFX English-Hungarian Parallel Corpus
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we describe the first English–Hungarian parallel corpus annotated for light verb constructions, which contains 14,261 sentence alignment units. Annotation principles and statistical data on the corpus are also provided, and English and Hungarian data are contrasted. On the basis of corpus data, a database containing pairs of English–Hungarian light verb constructions has been created as well. The corpus and the database can contribute to the automatic detection of light verb constructions and they can enhance performance in several fields of NLP (e.g. parsing, information extraction/retrieval and machine translation).

Identifying English and Hungarian Light Verb Constructions: A Contrastive Approach
Here, we introduce a machine learningbased approach that allows us to identify light verb constructions (LVCs) in Hungarian and English free texts. We also present the results of our experiments on the SzegedParalellFX English–Hungarian parallel corpus where LVCs were manually annotated in both languages. With our approach, we were able to contrast the performance of our method and define langu...
متن کامل4FX: Light Verb Constructions in a Multilingual Parallel Corpus
In this paper, we describe 4FX, a quadrilingual (English–Spanish–German–Hungarian) parallel corpus annotated for light verb constructions. We present the annotation process, and report statistical data on the frequency of LVCs in each language. We also offer inter-annotator agreement rates and we highlight some interesting facts and tendencies on the basis of comparing multilingual data from th...
متن کاملHungarian Corpus of Light Verb Constructions
The precise identification of light verb constructions is crucial for the successful functioning of several NLP applications. In order to facilitate the development of an algorithm that is capable of recognizing them, a manually annotated corpus of light verb constructions has been built for Hungarian. Basic annotation guidelines and statistical data on the corpus are also presented in the pape...
متن کاملCross-Lingual Variation of Light Verb Constructions: Using Parallel Corpora and Automatic Alignment for Linguistic Research
Cross-lingual parallelism and small-scale language variation have recently become subject of research in both computational and theoretical linguistics. In this article, we use a parallel corpus and an automatic aligner to study English light verb constructions and their German translations. We show that parallel corpus data can provide new empirical evidence for better understanding the proper...
متن کاملDependency Parsing for Identifying Hungarian Light Verb Constructions
Light verb constructions (LVCs) are verb and noun combinations in which the verb has lost its meaning to some degree and the noun is used in one of its original senses. They often share their syntactic pattern with other constructions (e.g. verbobject pairs) thus LVC detection can be viewed as classifying certain syntactic patterns as light verb constructions or not. In this paper, we explore a...
