Nominal Valency in Lexicons
نویسنده
چکیده
The term valency refers to the number, type and form of arguments that are bound to a word. Valency is specific to any given lexical unit and therefore is covered by lexicons. This is a preliminary survey conducted with the creation of a valency lexicon of Czech nouns in mind. The authors of such a lexicon have to decide who will be the intended users, how the material will be presented and which aspects of valency behaviour will be covered; we present the choices made by the authors of several Czech, English and German resources that cover the valency of nouns, both machine readable [FrameNet 1.5, 2010; NomBank 1.0, 2008; PDT-Vallex, 2006] and printed [Herbst et al., 2004; Sommerfeldt and Schreiber, 1996; Svozilová et al., 2005].

Deverbal Nouns in Czech Light Verb Constructions
In this paper, we provide a well-founded description of Czech deverbal nouns in both nominal and verbal structures (light verb constructions), based on a complex interaction between the lexicon and the grammar. We show that light verb constructions result from a regular syntactic operation. We introduce two interlinked valency lexicons, NomVallex and VALLEX , demonstrating how to minimize the s...
متن کاملA Syntactic Valency Lexicon for Persian Verbs: The First Steps towards Persian Dependency Treebank
Valency lexicons are valuable resources for natural language processing. The need for new resources for languages encourages researchers to collect new datasets. One of the most important datasets is valency lexicons. In valency lexicons, information about obligatory and optional complements of words is annotated at the syntactic and semantic levels. In this paper, we report the development of ...
متن کاملAdvanced Searching in the Valency Lexicons Using PML-TQ Search Engine
This paper presents a sophisticated way to search valency lexicons. We provide a visualization of lexicons with such built-in searching that allows users to draw sophisticated queries in a graphical mode. We exploit the PMLTQ, a query language based on the tree editor TrEd. For demonstration purposes, we focus on VALLEX and PDT-VALLEX, two Czech valency lexicons of verbs. We propose a common le...
متن کاملMapping Czech and English Valency Lexicons: Preliminary Report
We describe here a very first attempt to connect two valency lexicons: Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV) and VerbaLex. Both lexicons contain verbs together with their syntactic structure (arguments of the verbal predicate) and semantic restrictions (semantic types typical for a given verb argument). The lexicons are similar in overall but differ in details since their formalisms are ta...

We describe CzEngVallex, a bilingual Czech–English valency lexicon which aligns verbal valency frames and their arguments. It is based on a parallel Czech-English corpus, the Prague Czech-English Dependency Treebank (PCEDT), where for each occurrence of a verb, a reference to the underlying Czech and English valency lexicons (PDT-Vallex and CzEngVallex, respectively) is recorded. The CzEngValle...
