Logical Form of Hierarchical Relation on Verbs and Extracting it from Definition Sentences in a Japanese Dictionary
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are studying how to extract hierarchical relation on verbs from definition sentences in a Japanese dictionary. The hierarchical relation on verbs has been dealt with as a binary relation on verbs, but it should be dealt with as logical relation on predicates. We will define the logical form of the hierarchical relation on verbs and then discuss which part of the syntactic structure of the definition sentence represents that relation. We will call the main predicate verb in this part the definition verb. Furthermore we will describe how to semiautomatically select the proper meaning of the definition verb and the proper correspondence between cases of an entry verb and the definition verb in order to extract the hierarchical relation as logical relation.

Analysis and Reconstrution of Dictionary Definition Units
In this paper, we analyze the dictionary definitions of verbs for finding units of a definition, and study the reconstruction of the dictionary definitions without ambiguity. For finding units of the definition, we analyze the dependency structures of definitions and make a relation between main verb and other syntactic units. We build a hierarchical structure by using the relation between a he...

متن کاملAutomatic Construction of Persian ICT WordNet using Princeton WordNet
WordNet is a large lexical database of English language, in which, nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets). Each synset expresses a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by both semantic and lexical relations. WordNet is essentially used for word sense disambiguation, information retrieval, and text translation. In this paper, we propose s...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on the Aspectual Classification of Korean and Japanese Verbs in Relation to '-ess-' '-essess-' in Korean and 'sudeni' in Japanese
This paper deals with an aspectual classification of Korean and Japanese verbs based on Vendler (1967). Both of Korean and Japanese verbs are classified into 12 distinctive aspectual categories by their restrictions on time adverbials, progressive tenses and logical entailments. A well-established aspectual verb classes provide us not only with a better understanding of both languages, but also...
متن کاملThe Effect of Present Activity Verbs on Processing Structural Ambiguity in Japanese Garden-Path Sentences
This paper addresses the semantics of the present form (known as the -ru form) of activity verbs in Japanese and examines the effect of these verbs in contrast to that of the inflected form (the -ta form). Garden-path sentences involving an ambiguity between a simple sentential reading and a relative clause reading generally show a preference for the former reading; when the preferred reading p...
