Implementing Categorial Grammar in Semantic Analysis: from a Frame Semantics’ View
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new idea that semantic frames are taken as the functions, and semantic categories (usually labeled with semantic roles) are taken as arguments. Thus, a semantic frame can apply to semantic categories if semantic categories are consistent with the semantic frame. Beta-reduction is used to represent the idea of the application of semantic frame to semantic categories. Semantic consistency is tested through β-unification. It is concluded semantic consistency problems are decidable if verbs are typable in the system of frames.

Integrating Semantic Analysis into Syntactic Parsing: Combining Categorial Grammar and Frame Semantics
For a long time, syntacticians and semanticists have been seeking a way to integrate semantic analysis into syntactic parsing, or inverse; because they have realized that understanding cannot be fully explained simply with syntax or semantics. Categorial Grammarians devoted a lot to extend the expressiveness of CG, but they missed a point what behinds the scene is meanings rather than grammar r...
متن کاملCCG Categories for Distributional Semantic Models
For the last decade, distributional semantics has been an active area of research to address the problem of understanding the semantics of words in natural language. The core principal of the distributional semantic approach is that the linguistic context surrounding a given word, which is represented as a vector, provides important information about its meaning. In this paper we investigate th...
متن کاملA Type-Driven Tensor-Based Semantics for CCG
This paper shows how the tensor-based semantic framework of Coecke et al. can be seamlessly integrated with Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG). The integration follows from the observation that tensors are linear maps, and hence can be manipulated using the combinators of CCG, including type-raising and composition. Given the existence of robust, wide-coverage CCG parsers, this opens up the p...
متن کاملA platform for collaborative semantic annotation
Data-driven approaches in computational semantics are not common because there are only few semantically annotated resources available. We are building a large corpus of public-domain English texts and annotate them semi-automatically with syntactic structures (derivations in Combinatory Categorial Grammar) and semantic representations (Discourse Representation Structures), including events, th...
متن کاملCategorial Semantics For LFG
A categorial semantics for Lexical-khmctional Grammar provides a means for semantic interpretation of sentences of natural language that is appropriately constrained both syntactically and semantically. The f-structure of LFG provides a cross-lingnistically uniform format for representing syntactic information; constraining a derivation with respect to the f-structure rather than a phrase struc...
