Lexicalization and Multiword Expressions in the Basque WordNet
In this paper we propose a solution for the representation of a wide range of multiword expressions1 (lexicalized or not) in the Basque WordNet. We first argue in favor of including non-lexicalized multiword expressions, and propose very simple criteria based on existing dictionaries to mark those that are lexicalized from those that are not. We then motivate and propose a representation based ...
متن کاملAnnotation of Sign and Gesture Cross-linguistically
This paper discusses the construction of a cross-linguistic, bimodal corpus containing three modes of expression: expressions from two sign languages, speech and gestural expressions in two spoken languages and pantomimic expressions by users of two spoken languages who are requested to convey information without speaking. We discuss some problems and tentative solutions for the annotation of u...
متن کاملPragmatic expressions in cross-linguistic perspective
This paper focuses on some pragmatic expressions that are characteristic of informal spoken English, their possible equivalents in some other languages, and their use by EFL learners from different backgrounds. These expressions, called general extenders (e.g. and stuff, or something), are shown to be different from discourse markers and to exhibit variation in form, funct...
متن کاملCase stacking in nanosyntax
Abstract In this paper, I discuss a possibility for extending the nanosyntactic approach to case assignment and realization in order to model case stacking. Building on the work by Caha (2009), I show that nanosyntax can derive instances of overt case stacking as well as abstract case stacking. emain idea is that a case checking head can attract more than one K(ase)P. is leads to congurations ...
متن کاملDistinguishing Subtypes of Multiword Expressions Using Linguistically-Motivated Statistical Measures
We identify several classes of multiword expressions that each require a different encoding in a (computational) lexicon, as well as a different treatment within a computational system. We examine linguistic properties pertaining to the degree of semantic idiosyncrasy of these classes of expressions. Accordingly, we propose statistical measures to quantify each property, and use the measures to...
