Deverbal Compound Noun Analysis Based on Lexical Conceptual Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a principled approach for analysis of semantic relations between constituents in compound nouns based on lexical semantic structure. One of the difficulties of compound noun analysis is that the mechanisms governing the decision system of semantic relations and the representation method of semantic relations associated with lexical and contextual meaning are not obvious. The aim of our research is to clarify how lexical semantics contribute to the relations in compound nouns since such nouns are very productive and are supposed to be governed by systematic mechanisms. The results of applying our approach to the analysis of noun-deverbal compounds in Japanese and English show that lexical conceptual structure contributes to the restrictional rules in compounds.

Building Disambiguation System for Compound Noun Analysis Based on Lexical Conceptual Structure
In this paper, we propose a principled approach for disambiguating relations between constituent words of compound nouns whose heads are deverbal nouns, using the framework of lexical conceptual structure. The aim of this research is to reveal the complete set of lexical factor and disambiguation rules needed for application. The results of experiment for Japanese deverbal compounds and nominal...
متن کاملA Syntactic Account of Category-Changing Phrasal Morphology: Nominalizations in English and Korean*
The focus of this paper is on the proper analysis of lexical and phrasal nominalizations in English and Korean that are built around an identical deverbal element. In English, as is well-known, there are both lexical and phrasal nominalizations that are built around the -ing suffixed form of the verb. In Korean too, there are both lexical and phrasal nominalizations based on the same nominalizi...
متن کاملKorean Compound Noun Indexing Based on Lexical Association and Conceptual Association
Conventional methods have dealt with compound nouns with a goal to enhance the recall. That is, they've extracted only unit nouns within a full compound noun but didn't take out head modiiers which can improve the precision. This paper presents a new method of the Korean compound noun indexing which can improve both the recall and the precision. Our method extracts head modiiers from a compound...
متن کاملCompetition between conceptual relations affects compound recognition: the role of entropy.
Previous research has suggested that the conceptual representation of a compound is based on a relational structure linking the compound's constituents. Existing accounts of the visual recognition of modifier-head or noun-noun compounds posit that the process involves the selection of a relational structure out of a set of competing relational structures associated with the same compound. In th...
متن کاملParaphrasing Of Japanese Light-Verb Constructions Based On Lexical Conceptual Structure
Some particular classes of lexical paraphrases such as verb alteration and compound noun decomposition can be handled by a handful of general rules and lexical semantic knowledge. In this paper, we attempt to capture the regularity underlying these classes of paraphrases, focusing on the paraphrasing of Japanese light-verb constructions (LVCs). We propose a paraphrasing model for LVCs that is b...
