Verb Predicates, Meaning and Multilinguality

This paper summarizes some of the research on verb predicates that has taken place at the University of Central Florida during the last few years. It also describes how this research may be related to the MEANING project. The point is made that the de nition of predicates linked to a general ontology, such as that of WordNet, and to grammatical relations can solve the crucial issues of verb and...

Extracting Idiomatic Hungarian Verb Frames

We describe a machine learning method for collecting idiomatic fixed stem verb frames. Firstly we collect frequent frame candidates from the output of a partial parser, secondly we apply a certain idiomaticity metric to the list to get the most idiomatic frames. The extracted frames will be translated to English and used as a resource in a Hungarian-to-English machine translation system.

1. introduction in addition to simple verbs, persian employs a large number of complex predicates consisting of a preverbal element and a light verb. the preverbal element can be a noun, an adjective, an adverb or a preposition phrase, which combines with a verb to form a single syntactic predicate. persian complex verbs have attracted some researchers (e.g. folli, harley & karimi 2005, karimi ...

Building Verb Predicates: A Computational View

Hungarian verb movement. A deductive perspective

As indicated by many researchers (Lecomte, 1998; Cornell, 1997) the minimalist framework as worked out in the Minimalist Program (Chomsky, 1995) and the resource conscious logics such as Multimodal Categorial Grammar (Moortgat, 1996) show many similarities. The two theories are the product of distinct scientific traditions, but they aim to give a similar explanation for grammatical knowledge an...
