The case of Czech possessive adjectives and their head nouns: some distributional properties
نویسنده
چکیده
If a word class is defined on the basis of its co-occurrence with another word class in texts, then its ranking distribution may be modelled well by the negative hypergeometric probability distribution, and the interaction of the two classes can be described by the same type of model as well as with the help of some similar procedures, such as the non-linear regression. Possessive adjectives and their head nouns in a Czech corpus are taken to demonstrate those properties.

Nouns as Adjectives and Adjectives as Nouns
Many languages have morphological devices to turn a noun into an adjective. Often this morphology is genuinely derivational in that it adds a semantic predicate such as ‘havingN’ (proprietive), ‘lacking-N’ (caritive’), ‘similar-to-N’ (similitudinal) and so on. In other cases the denominal adjective expresses some vaguely defined notion of possession as in Russian Ivan-ovo (detstvo) ‘Ivan’s (chi...
متن کاملPossessive Aaxes and Complement Composition
A long-standing issue in the literature on clitics, namely, whether they can be best analysed as aaxes or syntactically autonomous words (postlexical clitics), is here addressed with respect to the Modern Greek`weak form' possessive pronoun. It is argued that distributional and phonological evidence strongly support an aaxal analysis. Apparent diiculties for extending to possessive aaxes an HPS...
متن کاملAdjectival versus Nominal categorization processes: The Rule versus Similarity hypothesis
This paper presents the thesis that adjectives and nouns trigger processing by two different cognitive systems, those reported in the literature to be involved in the processing of rulebased versus similarity-based artificially construed categories, respectively. To support this thesis, the paper illuminates a number of links between findings reported in the literature concerning ruleversus sim...
متن کاملDistributional Semantic Models of Attribute Meaning in Adjectives and Nouns
Attributes such as size, weight or color are at the core of conceptualization, i.e., the formal representation of entities or events in the real world. In natural language, formal attributes find their counterpart in attribute nouns which can be used in order to generalize over individual properties (e.g., big or small in case of size, blue or red in case of color). In order to ascribe such pro...
متن کاملSemantic Clustering of Adjectives and Verbs Based on Syntactic Patterns
In this paper we show that some of the syntactic patterns in an NLP lexicon can be used to identify semantically ”similar” adjectives and verbs. We define semantic similarity on the basis of parameters used in the literature to classify adjectives and verbs semantically. The semantic clusters obtained from the syntactic encodings in the lexicon are evaluated by comparing them with semantic grou...
