Same same but different: type and typicality in a distributional model of complement coercion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We aim to model the results from a selfpaced reading experiment, which tested the effect of semantic type clash and typicality on the processing of German complement coercion. We present two distributional semantic models to test if they can model the effect of both type and typicality in the psycholinguistic study. We show that one of the models, without explicitly representing type information, can account both for the effect of type and typicality in complement coercion.

Complement Coercion: The Joint Effects of Type and Typicality
Complement coercion (begin a book →reading) involves a type clash between an event-selecting verb and an entity-denoting object, triggering a covert event (reading). Two main factors involved in complement coercion have been investigated: the semantic type of the object (event vs. entity), and the typicality of the covert event (the author began a book →writing). In previous research, reading t...
متن کاملA Geometric Method for Detecting Semantic Coercion
In this paper we present state-of-the-art results on the computational classification of semantic type coercion, accomplished using a novel geometric method which is both context-sensitive and generalisable. We show that this method improves accuracy on a SemEval dataset over previous work, and gives promising results on a new more challenging experimental setup involving the same data. In addi...
متن کاملBAYES PREDICTION INTERVALS FOR THE BURR TYPE XI1 DISTRIBUTION IN THE PRESENCE OF OUTLIERS
Using a sample fiom Burr type XU distribution, Bayes prediction intervals are derived for the maximum and minimum of a future sample fromthe same distribution, but in the presence of a single outlier of the type 8,8. The prior of Q is assumed to be the gamma conjugate. A real example is given to illustrate the procedure. Also, the comparison between the values of the prediction bounds for dif...
متن کاملSpatial Varying Coefficient Regression Model For Relative Risk Factors of Esophageal Cancer Patients
In conventional methods for spatial survival data modeling, it is often assumed that the coefficients of explanatory variables in different regions have a constant effect on survival time. Usually, the spatial correlation of data through a random effect is also included in the model. But in many practical issues, the factors affecting survival time do not have the same effects in different regi...
متن کاملTowards a proper treatment of coercion phenomena
The interpretation of coercion constructions (to begin a book) has been recently considered as resulting from the operation of type changing. For instance, a phrase of type o (object) is coerced to a phrase of type e (event) under the influence of the predicate. We show that this procedure encounters empirical difficulties. Focussing on the begin/commencer case, we show that the coercion interp...
