Linking Syntactic and Semantic Arguments in a Dependency-based Formalism
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a formal characterization of variation in the syntactic realization of semantic arguments, using hierarchies of syntactic relations and thematic roles, and a mechanism of lexical inheritance to obtain valency frames from individual linking types. We embed the formalization in the new lexicalized, dependency-based grammar formalism of Topological Dependency Grammar (TDG) (Duchier and Debusmann, 2001). We account for arguments that can be alternatively realized as a NP or a PP, and model thematic role alternations. We also treat auxiliary constructions, where the correspondance between syntactic and semantic argumenthood is indirect.1

Automatic identification of words with semantic roles (such as Agent, Patient, Source, etc.) in sentences and attaching correct semantic roles to them, may lead to improvement in many natural language processing tasks including information extraction, question answering, text summarization and machine translation. Semantic role labeling systems usually take advantage of syntactic parsing and th...

Abstract Extracting semantic roles is one of the major steps in representing text meaning. It refers to finding the semantic relations between a predicate and syntactic constituents in a sentence. In this paper we present a semantic role labeling system for Persian, using memory-based learning model and standard features. Our proposed system implements a two-phase architecture to first identify...
متن کاملFlexible Semantic Composition with DUDES (short paper)
In this paper we present a novel formalism for semantic construction called DUDES (Dependency-based Underspecified Discourse REpresentation Structures). The DUDES formalism has been designed to overcome the rigidity of semantic composition based on the lambda calculus (where the order of application is typically fixed) and provides some flexibility with respect to the direction of the dependenc...
متن کاملFeature Engineering in Persian Dependency Parser
Dependency parser is one of the most important fundamental tools in the natural language processing, which extracts structure of sentences and determines the relations between words based on the dependency grammar. The dependency parser is proper for free order languages, such as Persian. In this paper, data-driven dependency parser has been developed with the help of phrase-structure parser fo...
متن کاملLinking as constraints on word classes in a hierarchical lexicon
In this paper, we propose an alternative account of linking patterns which does away with intermediary mechanisms such as thematic or actor/undergoer hierarchies. The basis of this theory is constraints on word classes, deened by both syntactic and semantic criteria, which encode generalizations between semantic roles and syntactic arguments. We show that the generalizations a linking theory ne...
