Defining and Representing Preposition Senses: a preliminary analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this document, we analyze several aspects related to the semantics of prepositions. We propose an approach and elements of a method to organize and to represent prepositions uses and senses. Complex polysemous behaviors are discussed, showing the use and limits of the approach.

PrepNet: a Multilingual Lexical Description of Prepositions
In this paper, we present the results of a preliminary investigation that aims at constructing a repository of preposition syntactic and semantic behaviors. A preliminary frame-based format for representing their prototypical behavior is then proposed together with related inferential patterns that describe functional or paradigmatic relations between preposition senses.
متن کاملAn Annotation Schema for Preposition Senses in German
Prepositions are highly polysemous. Yet, little effort has been spent to develop languagespecific annotation schemata for preposition senses to systematically represent and analyze the polysemy of prepositions in large corpora. In this paper, we present an annotation schema for preposition senses in German. The annotation schema includes a hierarchical taxonomy and also allows multiple annotati...
متن کاملThe annotation of preposition senses in German
It seems to be common wisdom that prepositions (especially simple prepositions) are highly polysemous. Preposition senses seem to be well explored, as there exists plenty of literature on prepositions and their interpretations. On a closer inspection, however, it turns out that we are far away from a well-structured understanding of preposition senses. There is mutual consent about simple prepo...
متن کاملPreposition Senses: Generalized Disambiguation Model
Our previous study on disambiguating the preposition “with” (using WordNet for hypernym and meronym relations, LCS for verb and preposition lexical information, and features of head and complement) looked promising enough to warrant study for other prepositions. Through investigation of ten frequently used prepositions, this paper describes general senses of prepositions and sense-case definiti...
متن کاملDigraph Analysis Of Dictionary Preposition Definitions
We develop a model of preposition definitions in a machine-readable dictionary using the theory of labeled directed graphs and analyze the resulting digraphs to determine a primitive set of preposition senses. We characterize these primitives and show how they can be used to develop an inheritance hierarchy for prepositions, representing the definitions by a type and slots for its arguments. By...
