Distributional regularities of verbs and verbal adjectives: Treebank evidence and broader implications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Word formation processes such as derivation and compounding yield realizations of lexical roots in different parts of speech and in different syntactic environments. Using verbal adjectives as a case study and treebanks of Dutch and German as data sources, similarities and divergences in syntactic distributions across different realizations of lexical roots are examined and the implications for computational modeling and for treebank construction are discussed.

An annotation scheme for Persian based on Autonomous Phrases Theory and Universal Dependencies
A treebank is a corpus with linguistic annotations above the level of the parts of speech. During the first half of the present decade, three treebanks have been developed for Persian either originally or subsequently based on dependency grammar: Persian Treebank (PerTreeBank), Persian Syntactic Dependency Treebank, and Uppsala Persian Dependency Treebank (UPDT). The syntactic analysis of a sen...
متن کاملAutomatic Construction of Korean Verbal Type Hierarchy using Treebank
The lexical information of verbal lexemes, such as verbs and adjectives, plays an important role in syntactic parsing, because the structure of a sentence mainly hinges on the type of verbal lexemes. The question we address in this research is how to acquire the ‘argument structure’ (henceforth ARG-ST) of verbal lexemes in Korean. It is well known that manual build-up of type hierarchy usually ...
متن کاملValency in the Prague Dependency Treebank: Building the Valency Lexicon
In this article we focus on valency, which belongs to the core phenomena being captured in the underlying level of the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT). We present a summary of the basic principles of the applied theoretical framework including proposals for suitable refinement relevant to NLP. The current status of description of valency behavior of verbs, nouns and adjectives is outlined. We ...
متن کاملThe verbal valency in the Prague Dependency Treebank from the annotator's point of view
The core ingredient of the Prague Dependency Treebank (PDT; see Hajič, this volume) „valency“ indicates the capability of lexical units to combine other complementations. The PDT has adopted the concept of the valency theory of the Functional Generative Description (FGD) (see Sgall, 1967, Sgall et al, 1986). The valency theory of the FGD has first been developed for verbs, then also for other p...
متن کاملThe Development of the "Index Thomisticus" Treebank Valency Lexicon
We present a valency lexicon for Latin verbs extracted from the Index Thomisticus Treebank, a syntactically annotated corpus of Medieval Latin texts by Thomas Aquinas. In our corpus-based approach, the lexicon reflects the empirical evidence of the source data. Verbal arguments are induced directly from annotated data. The lexicon contains 432 Latin verbs with 270 valency frames. The lexicon is...
