Extended GL and Japanese Postposition No
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes elaboration of the Generative Lexicon (GL) in Pustejovsky (1995) and the Extended Generative Lexicon theory (Lenci et al., 2000). My proposal is based on the Japanese genitive postposition no1. The Japanese NP1-no NP2 “NP1-GEN NP2” construction expresses a wider range of relations between two entities than the English possessive NP1’s NP2, such that neither selective binding (Pustejovsky, 1995) nor type-shifting based on qualia roles in NP2 (Vikner and Jensen, 2002) captures the necessary relations— time, location, manner, and others of temporary nature. The disambiguation of possessive relations requires that lexical entries be augmented by incorporating a Referential Module comprising subcategories such as LOCATION, TIME, and MANNER.

Qualia Based Lexical Knowledge for the Disambiguation of the Japanese Postposition 'No' (short paper)
This paper proposes the elaboration of the qualia structure of the Generative Lexicon in [5] and the Extended Generative Lexicon theory [3]. My proposal is based on the Japanese genitive postposition no. The Japanese “NP1-no NP2” construction expresses a wider range of relations between two entities than does the English possessive “NP1’s NP2,” such that the Pustejovskian qualia roles encoded i...
متن کاملSemantic Analysis of Japanese Noun Phrases - A New Approach to Dictionary-Based Understanding
This paper presents a new method of analyzing Japanese noun phrases of the form N1 no N2. The Japanese postposition no roughly corresponds to of, but it has much broader usage. The method exploits a definition of N2 in a dictionary. For example, rugby no coach can be interpreted as a person who teaches technique in rugby. We illustrate the effectiveness of the method by the analysis of 300 test...

متن کاملExtended Generative Lexicon
This paper proposes an elaboration of the Generative Lexicon (GL) in Pustejovsky (1995) based on a survey of BCCWJ (2009). I manually classified the Japanese NP1-no NP2 “NP1’s NP2” construction in accordance with semantic relations between the two nominals. The result indicates the need for the expansion of GL for computing the meaning of the NP1no NP2 construction by incorporating referential ...
متن کاملApplication of Event Semantics to Qualia Structure of Nouns for Disambiguation of Japanese Postposition No
This paper proposes the elaboration of the qualia structure of the Generative Lexicon in Pustejovsky (1995) and the Extended Generative Lexicon theory (Lenci et al. 2000). I argue that the qualia roles of nouns should be expanded to incorporate Neo-Davidsonian event semantics. My proposal is based on the Japanese genitive postposition no. The Japanese “NP1-no NP2” construction expresses a wider...
