There are two main expressions which can give rise to future-oriented interpretations in Hungarian. The fog construction, which consists of an auxiliary verb and an infinitival main verb is obligatorily associated with future interpretations. The second expression, the non-past, consists of a verb inflected for person and number, with no grammatical marker of temporal reference. Interestingly, ...

the verb in russian language is a part of speech which involves several grammatical features. regarding methods of expressing the person, we can classify it in two major groups: personal verbs and non-personal verbs. the difference of these two groups is in their expression and inexpression of the person as a grammatical category. the purpose of this research is to consider ways of declaring th...

Human interpretation of natural language relies heavily on cognitive processes involving metaphorical and idiomatic meanings. One area of computational linguistics in which such processes play an important, but largely unaddressed, role is the determination of the properties of multiword predicates (MWPs). MWPs such as give a groan and cut taxes involve metaphorical meaning extensions of highly...

Abstract Although Verb-Object (VO) is the basic unmarked constituent order of predicates in Present-Day English, earlier stages language Object-Verb (OV) preferred pattern some syntactic contexts. OV are significantly frequent Old and Middle still attested up to 1550, when they “appear dwindle away” (Moerenhout & van der Wurff 2005: 83). This study looks at Early Modern English (EModE), usi...

this paper presents an investigation of the structure of persian clauses which display verb phrase ellipsis. to this end, verb phrase ellipsis in persian will be discussed in the light of the two theoretically significant approaches to ellipsis, namely, structural versus non-structural. drawing on data from persian and running the independently devised syntactic tests, we will argue that the or...

Like all the major fields of research, theoretical positions on support verbs have changed as descriptions them accumulated. It is surprising that it was not until twentieth century notion established. Thus, to take a beer and slap been analyzed in same way grammatical tradition. I described elsewhere how elaborated gradually developed (G. Gross 1993, 2004). The first works framework LADL start...

Automatic Acquisition of Lexical Knowledge about Multiword Predicates Afsaneh Fazly Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2007 A multiword predicate is the combination of a predicate (often a verb) with one or more of its arguments, that together form a single unit of predicative meaning. We focus on a broad class of multiword predicates, in which a ...

This paper suggests a method for detecting cross-lingual semantic similarity using parallel PropBanks. We begin by improving word alignments for verb predicates generated by GIZA++ by using information available in parallel PropBanks. We applied the Kuhn-Munkres method to measure predicateargument matching and improved verb predicate alignments by an F-score of 12.6%. Using the enhanced word al...

The aim of this article is to establish the theoretical basis of the semantic annotation of the CESS-ESP and CESS-CAT corpora, by means of assigning to each predicate a Lexicosemantic Structure. The lexicosemantic patterns determine the argument structure, the correspondence between the arguments and the verb, and the diathesis alternations. The semantic annotation is carried out semi-automatic...
