The StringNet Lexico-Grammatical Knowledgebase and its Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This demo introduces a suite of web-based English lexical knowledge resources, called StringNet and StringNet Navigator (http://nav.stringnet.org), designed to provide access to the immense territory of multiword expressions that falls between what the lexical entries encode in lexicons on the one hand and what productive grammar rules cover on the other. StringNet’s content consists of 1.6 billion hybrid n-grams, strings in which word forms and parts of speech grams can cooccur. Subordinate and super-ordinate relations among hybrid n-grams are indexed, making StringNet a navigable web rather than a list. Applications include error detection and correction tools and web browser-based tools that detect patterns in the webpages that a user browses.

StringNet as a Computational Resource for Discovering and Investigating Linguistic Constructions
We describe and motivate the design of a lexico-grammatical knowledgebase called StringNet and illustrate its significance for research into constructional phenomena in English. StringNet consists of a massive archive of what we call hybrid n-grams. Unlike traditional n-grams, hybrid n-grams can consist of any co-occurring combination of POS tags, lexemes, and specific word forms. Further, we d...
متن کاملThe Interface between Linguistic and Pragmatic Competence: The Case of Disagreement, Scolding, Requests, and Complaints
Second language learners often develop grammatical competence in the absence of concomitant pragmatic competence (Kasper & Roever, 2005) and the exact nature of the relationship between the two competences is still indistinct and in need of inquiries ( Bardovi-Harlig, 1999; Khatib & Ahmadisafa, 2011). This study is a partial attempt to address the lacuna and aims to see if any relationship ca...
متن کاملThe Dual Meaning Potential of Prepositional Grammatical Metaphor in Prose Fiction
From a Systemic Functional perspective, Grammatical Metaphor (GM) as is taken to be a chief driving force in the discourse of different genres, an important adult language machinery for ideational meanings to be semantically cross-mapped and realized through a different form in the stratum of the lexico-grammar, in order to convey changed meanings and tinker with the discursive flow and develop...
متن کاملGeneration of Single-sentence Paraphrases from Predicate/Argument Structure using Lexico-grammatical Resources
Paraphrases, which stem from the variety of lexical and grammatical means of expressing meaning available in a language, pose challenges for a sentence generation system. In this paper, we discuss the generation of paraphrases from predicate/argument structure using a simple, uniform generation methodology. Central to our approach are lexico-grammatical resources which pair elementary semantic ...
متن کاملVisualising Linguistic Evolution in Academic Discourse
The present paper describes procedures to visualise diachronic language changes in academic discourse to support analysis. These changes are reflected in the distribution of different lexico-grammatical features according to register. Findings about register differences are relevant for both linguistic applications (e.g., discourse analysis and translation studies) and NLP tasks (notably automa...
