Advanced Searching in the Valency Lexicons Using PML-TQ Search Engine

چکیده
This paper presents a sophisticated way to search valency lexicons. We provide a visualization of lexicons with such built-in searching that allows users to draw sophisticated queries in a graphical mode. We exploit the PMLTQ, a query language based on the tree editor TrEd. For demonstration purposes, we focus on VALLEX and PDT-VALLEX, two Czech valency lexicons of verbs. We propose a common lexicon data format supported by PML-TQ. This format offers easy viewing both lexicons, parallel searching and interlinking them. The proposed method is universal and can be used for other hierarchically structured lexicons.

Czech-English Bilingual Valency Lexicon Online
We describe CzEngVallex, a bilingual Czech–English valency lexicon which aligns verbal valency frames and their arguments. It is based on a parallel Czech-English corpus, the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (PCEDT), where for each occurrence of a verb, a reference to the underlying Czech and English valency lexicons (PDT-Vallex and CzEngVallex, respectively) is recorded. The CzEngValle...
متن کاملValency and Word Order in Czech ― A Corpus Probe
We present a part of broader research on word order aiming at finding factors influencing word order in Czech (i.e. in an inflectional language) and their intensity. The main aim of the paper is to test a hypothesis that obligatory adverbials (in terms of the valency) follow the non-obligatory (i.e. optional) ones in the surface word order. The determined hypothesis was tested by creating a lis...
متن کاملA Syntactic Valency Lexicon for Persian Verbs: The First Steps towards Persian Dependency Treebank
Valency lexicons are valuable resources for natural language processing. The need for new resources for languages encourages researchers to collect new datasets. One of the most important datasets is valency lexicons. In valency lexicons, information about obligatory and optional complements of words is annotated at the syntactic and semantic levels. In this paper, we report the development of ...
متن کاملMapping Czech and English Valency Lexicons: Preliminary Report
We describe here a very first attempt to connect two valency lexicons: Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV) and VerbaLex. Both lexicons contain verbs together with their syntactic structure (arguments of the verbal predicate) and semantic restrictions (semantic types typical for a given verb argument). The lexicons are similar in overall but differ in details since their formalisms are ta...
متن کاملNominal Valency in Lexicons
The term valency refers to the number, type and form of arguments that are bound to a word. Valency is specific to any given lexical unit and therefore is covered by lexicons. This is a preliminary survey conducted with the creation of a valency lexicon of Czech nouns in mind. The authors of such a lexicon have to decide who will be the intended users, how the material will be presented and whi...
