Dictionary-driven analysis of Japanese verbal alternations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for extracting verbal (diathesis) alternations from a valency dictionary, based on comparison of selectional restrictions. The quality of match between selectional restrictions is evaluated according to an entropy-based measure with backing-off facility. We use the proposed method to derive a provisional listing of the range and distribution of verbal alternations in Japanese.

An alternation-based Japanese valency dictionary architecture
This research is aimed at developing a valency dictionary architecture to comprehensively list the full range of alternations associated with a given predicate sense, both efficiently and robustly. The architecture is designed to incorporate all relevant information included in the on-line version of GoiTaikei — a Japanese Lexicon, as well as additional features such as argument status, grammat...
متن کاملVerb Alternations and Japanese : How, What and Where
We set out to empirically identify the range and frequency of basic verb alternation types in Japanese, through analysis of the Goi-Taikei Japanese pattern-based valency dictionary. This is achieved through comparison of the selectional preference annotation on corresponding case slots, based on the assumption that selectional preferences are preserved under alternation. Three separate extracti...
متن کاملA System of Verbal Semantic Attributes Focused on the Syntactic Correspondence between Japanese and English
This paper proposes a system of 97 verbal semantic attributes for Japanese verbs which considers both dynamic characteristics and the relationship of verbs to cases. These attribute values are used to disambiguate the meanings of all Japanese and English pattern pairs in a Japanese to English transfer pattern dictionary consisting of 15,000 pairs of Japanese valence patterns and equivalent Engl...
متن کاملA Computational Treatment of V-V Compounds in Japanese
We examine how a large-scale computational grammar can account for the complex nature of Japanese verbal compounds. Previous computational Japanese grammars have tried to avoid the problem by simple solutions such as enumerating as many verbal compounds in the lexicon as possible. In contrast, we develop the analysis that is linguistically adequate and computationally tractable and thus meets t...
متن کاملRecreation of spontaneous non-verbal behavior on a synthetic agent EVA
This paper presents a novel process of transferring the human-generated communicative behavior onto an embodied conversational agent. The aim of our work is to build a high-resolution motion dictionary based on empirical analysis of non-verbal behavior performed in multi-speaker informal dialogues. The verbal and non-verbal behavior is recreated by using this motion dictionary and on pure, unpr...
