A Karaka Based Annotation Scheme for English
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes an annotation scheme for English based on Panini’s concept of karakas. We describe how the scheme handles certain constructions in English. By extending the karaka scheme for a fixed word order language, we hope to bring out its advantages as a concept that incorporates some ‘local semantics’. Our comparison with PTB-II and PropBank brings out its intermediary status between a morpho-syntactic and semantic level. Further work can show how this could benefit tasks like semantic role labeling and automatic conversion of existing English treebanks into this scheme.

متن کاملIdentification of Karaka relations in an English sentence
In this paper we explain the identification of karaka relations in an English sentence. We explain the genesis of the problem and present two different approaches, rule based and statistical. We briefly describe about rule based and focus more on statistical approach. We process a sentence through various stages and extract features at each stage. We train our data and identify Karaka relations...
متن کاملYes we can!? Annotating the senses of English modal verbs
This paper presents an annotation scheme for English modal verbs together with sense-annotated data from the news domain. We describe our annotation scheme and discuss problematic cases for modality annotation based on the inter-annotator agreement during the annotation. Furthermore, we present experiments on automatic sense tagging, showing that our annotations do provide a valuable training r...
متن کاملAnnotation and Issues in Building an English Dependency Treebank
The Paninian Grammar framework, given by Panini for his analysis of Sanskrit Language, is finding its extensive application on languages other than Sanskrit, about two thousand five hundred years after its formulation. The work presented in this paper is one such application that extends Paninian Grammar (PG or CPG: Computational Paninian Grammar) to English, a fixed word order language. It pre...
