ParaDi: Dictionary of Paraphrases of Czech Complex Predicates with Light Verbs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new freely available dictionary of paraphrases of Czech complex predicates with light verbs, ParaDi. Candidates for single predicative paraphrases of selected complex predicates have been extracted automatically from large monolingual data using word2vec. They have been manually verified and further refined. We demonstrate one of many possible applications of ParaDi in an experiment with improving machine translation quality.

Complex Predicates with Light Verbs in VALLEX: From Formal Model to Lexicographic Description
Natural languages are typically characterized by a large area where grammar and lexicon overlap. Complex predicates with light verbs represent a typical language phenomenon at the lexicongrammar interface. Their theoretically adequate representation thus requires a close interplay between the lexicon and the grammar. In this paper, we introduce a formal model for the lexicographic description o...
متن کاملLexicographic Description of Czech Complex Predicates: Between Lexicon and Grammar
In this paper, we propose a representation of Czech complex predicates with light verbs in a valency lexicon. We demonstrate that if such a representation is to be theoretically adequate and at the same time economical, the information on complex predicates should be divided between two components of the lexicon, a data component and a grammar component. The data component stores all the inform...
متن کاملAt the Lexicon-Grammar Interface: The Case of Complex Predicates in the Functional Generative Description
Complex predicates with light verbs have proven to be very challenging for syntactic theories, particularly due to the tricky distribution of valency complementations of light verbs and predicative nouns (or other predicative units) in their syntactic structure. We propose a theoretically adequate and economical representation of complex predicates with Czech light verbs based on a division of ...
متن کاملParaphrasing Of Japanese Light-Verb Constructions Based On Lexical Conceptual Structure
Some particular classes of lexical paraphrases such as verb alteration and compound noun decomposition can be handled by a handful of general rules and lexical semantic knowledge. In this paper, we attempt to capture the regularity underlying these classes of paraphrases, focusing on the paraphrasing of Japanese light-verb constructions (LVCs). We propose a paraphrasing model for LVCs that is b...
متن کاملExploiting Lexical Conceptual Structure for Paraphrase Generation
Lexical Conceptual Structure (LCS) represents verbs as semantic structures with a limited number of semantic predicates. This paper attempts to exploit how LCS can be used to explain the regularities underlying lexical and syntactic paraphrases, such as verb alternation, compound word decomposition, and lexical derivation. We propose a paraphrase generation model which transforms LCSs of verbs,...
