A challenging task in Chinese collocation extraction is to improve both the precision and recall rate. Most lexical statistical methods including Xtract face the problem of unable to extract collocations with lower frequencies than a given threshold. This paper presents a method where HowNet is used to find synonyms using a similarity function. Based on such synonym information, we have success...

This paper describes the application of filtering techniques to collocation sets calculated for very large text corpora. Additional information like patterns, grammatical information, subject areas and numerical values associated with the collocations are used to identify collocations with given semantic structure. Various examples and different techniques for applying such filters are describe...

This paper presents a method of retrieving bilingual collocations of a verb and its objective noun from cross-lingual documents with similar contents. Relevant documents are obtained by integrating crosslanguage hierarchies. The results showed a 15.1% improvement over the baseline nonhierarchy model, and a 6.0% improvement over use of relevant documents retrieved from a single hierarchy. Moreov...

Thank you for reading semantic analysis of verbal collocations with lexical functions. Maybe you have knowledge that, people have look numerous times for their chosen novels like this semantic analysis of verbal collocations with lexical functions, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they are facing with some harmful vi...

This study examines the relative role of collocations (and its sub-types) and effect sociolinguistic factors on reading comprehension skills 4th-grade primary school students learning Turkish as a second language (L2). For this purpose, recruits L1 L2 from Başakşehir, Beylikdüzü, Fatih, Esenler districts Istanbul. The researchers collected data using Language Social Background Questionnaire (LS...

We introduce a simple and effective crosslingual approach to identifying collocations. This approach is based on the observation that true collocations, which cannot be translated word for word, will exhibit very different association scores before and after literal translation. Our experiments in Japanese demonstrate that our cross-lingual association measure can successfully exploit the combi...

Lay people and experienced clinicians alike judge the abnormality of behaviors with reference to causal, explanatory events. However, different kinds of experience abound; for example, parents may encounter fewer exemplars than clinicians, but are experienced in reasoning about the real-world ramifications of children’s behaviors. When reasoning about child behaviors, parents may therefore be m...

In this paper, we introduce a system, Sentence Planning Using Description, which generates collocations within the paradigm of sentence planning. SPUD simultaneously constructs the semantics and syntax of a sentence using a Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar (LTAG). This approach captures naturally and elegantly the interaction between pragmatic and syntactic constraints on descriptions in a se...

This paper suggests a methodology which is aimed to extract the terminologically relevant collocations for translation purposes. Our basic idea is to use a hybrid method which combines the statistical method and linguistic rules. The extraction system used in our work operated at three steps: (1) Tokenization and POS tagging of the corpus; (2) Extraction of multi-word units using statistical me...
