Semantic Roles for Nominal Predicates: Building a Lexical Resource
نویسندگان
چکیده
The linguistic annotation of noun-verb complex predicates (also termed as light verb constructions) is challenging as these predicates are highly productive in Hindi. For semantic role labelling, each argument of the noun-verb complex predicate must be given a role label. For complex predicates, frame files need to be created specifying the role labels for each noun-verb complex predicate. The creation of frame files is usually done manually, but we propose an automatic method to expedite this process. We use two resources for this method: Hindi PropBank frame files for simple verbs and the annotated Hindi Treebank. Our method perfectly predicts 65% of the roles in 3015 unique noun-verb combinations, with an additional 22% partial predictions, giving us 87% useful predictions to build our annotation resource.

Building Japanese Predicate-argument Structure Corpus using Lexical Conceptual Structure
This paper introduces our study on creating a Japanese corpus that is annotated using semantically-motivated predicate-argument structures. We propose an annotation framework based on Lexical Conceptual Structure (LCS), where semantic roles of arguments are represented through a semantic structure decomposed by several primitive predicates. As a first stage of the project, we extended Jackendof...
متن کاملA Multilingual Predicate Matrix
This paper presents the Predicate Matrix 1.3, a lexical resource resulting from the integration of multiple sources of predicate information including FrameNet, VerbNet, PropBank and WordNet. This new version of the Predicate Matrix has been extended to cover nominal predicates by adding mappings to NomBank. Similarly, we have integrated resources in Spanish, Catalan and Basque. As a result, th...
متن کاملLexical-Conceptual Relations as Qualia Role Encoders
In this paper we show how wordnets can be used for building computational lexica that support generative processes accounting for phenomena such as the creation of meaning in context. We propose the integration of qualia information in wordnets through the association of lexical-conceptual relations to qualia roles, in what is a simple and low cost procedure, as it makes use of information alre...
متن کاملDiscovering Semantic Classes for Urdu N-V Complex Predicates
This paper reports on an exploratory investigation as to whether classes of Urdu N-V complex predicates can be identified on the basis syntactic patterns and lexical choices associated with the N-V complex predicates. Working with data from a POS annotated corpus, we show that choices with respect to the number of arguments, case marking on subjects and which light verbs are felicitous with whi...
متن کاملSemantic Annotation of CESS-ECE: Lexical Semantic Structures
The correspondence between syntactic functions and thematic roles is carried out following the predicate analysis presented in Levin & Rappaport-Hovav [9] and Rappaport-Hovav & Levin [12]. We consider that their proposal is appropriated for our work for a number of reasons. First, because in this model converge lexical semantic, event and argument information and diathesis alternations. And sec...
