Body-Part Nouns and Whole-Part Relations in Portuguese
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we target the extraction of whole-part relations involving human entities and body-part nouns occurrences in texts using STRING, a hybrid statistical and rule-based Natural Language Processing chain for Portuguese. Whole-part relation is a semantic relation between an entity that is perceived as a constituent part of another entity, or a member of a set.

In this paper, we focus on the most frequent errors that occurred during the implementation of a rule-based module for semantic relations extraction, which has been integrated in STRING, a hybrid statistical and rule-based Natural Language Processing chain for Portuguese. We focus on whole-part relations (meronymy), that is, a semantic relation between an entity that is perceived as a constitue...
متن کاملProcessing (In)alienable Possessions at the Syntax-Semantics Interface

The alienability between a possessum and its possessor, in particular, has received much attention in the literature (see Antrim, 1996 and a recent collection by Coene & D'hulst, 2003, for reviews).

متن کاملBody Part Nouns in Expressions of Location in French
In relation to inanimates, nouns that normally denote body parts when constructed in relation to an animate whole (pied ‘foot’, tête ‘head’, etc.) lose their literal meaning in French and acquire instead a spatial interpretation.
