Comparing and combining semantic verb classifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we address the task of comparing and combining different semantic verb classifications within one language. We present a methodology for the manual analysis of individual resources on the level of semantic features. The resulting representations can be aligned across resources, and allow a contrastive analysis of these resources. In a case study on the Manner of Motion domain across four German verb classifications, we find that some features are used in all resources, while others reflect individual emphases on specific meaning aspects. We also provide evidence that feature representations can ultimately provide the basis for linking verb classes themselves across resources, which allows us to combine their coverage and descriptive detail.

Studies have shown that the verbs belonging to different semantic categories lead to neural activity in different areas of the brain, and action verb processing is r...

متن کاملImproving Verb Clustering with Automatically Acquired Selectional Preferences
In previous research in automatic verb classification, syntactic features have proved the most useful features, although manual classifications rely heavily on semantic features. We show, in contrast with previous work, that considerable additional improvement can be obtained by using semantic features in automatic classification: verb selectional preferences acquired from corpus data using a f...
متن کاملSemantic classifications for detection of verb metaphors
We investigate the effectiveness of semantic generalizations/classifications for capturing the regularities of the behavior of verbs in terms of their metaphoricity. Starting from orthographic word unigrams, we experiment with various ways of defining semantic classes for verbs (grammatical, resource-based, distributional) and measure the effectiveness of these classes for classifying all verbs...
متن کاملA Rule-based Morpho-semantic Analyzer of the Japanese Verb Phrases of Simple Sentences
This paper presents the design and algorithms of a morpho-semantic analyzer to parse the Japanese verb phrases of simple sentences. This parser aims to understand the whole semantics of verb phrases by parsing them into semantic units, and thus differs from existing morphological analyzers that primarily segment sentences into morpho-phonemes, labeled with the classifications. Unlike other stat...
