An Overview on Portuguese Nominalizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss nominalizations in Portuguese formed by the suffix -ura. We have done a corpus-based description of the behavior of these nominals and proposed a type ontology to categorize them. In order to offer a rich description, we also tested all words formed by -ura in co-predication contexts to check if their types could be co-predicated. Although our main goal was to produce a corpus-based description on those nominals, we have found that may be the frequency of use of a given word has a special role on the acceptability of co-predication between different senses of a nominalization.

NomLex-PT: A Lexicon of Portuguese Nominalizations
This paper presents NomLex-PT, a lexical resource describing Portuguese nominalizations. NomLex-PT connects verbs to their nominalizations, thereby enabling NLP systems to observe the potential semantic relationships between the two words when analysing a text. NomLex-PT is freely available and encoded in RDF for easy integration with other resources. Most notably, we have integrated NomLex-PT ...

متن کاملDeverbal Noun Complementation Rules Applied to Semantic Role Labeling
This work presents a procedure of semantic role labeling in deverbal noun predications. The procedure avoids the problems related to the unavailability of robust computational resources for Portuguese by exploring the systematic correspondence between the argument structures of verbs and of their corresponding nominalizations, and by using the Web as a corpus in order to infer probabilistically...
متن کاملNominalizaciones deverbales: denotación y estructura argumental
Spanish deverbal nominalizations are linguistic constructions characterized by presenting properties of common nouns but also by inheriting the argument structure of the verbs from which they derive. This duality aroused considerable interest in deverbal nominalizations in Linguistics. On the one hand, they can denote both the state or the result of the action expressed by the corresponding bas...
