چکیده

In this paper, we describe a program of research designed to explore.' how a lexical semantic theory may be exploited for extracting information from corpora suitable for use in Information Retrieval applications. Unlike with purely statistical collocational analyses, the framework of a semantic theory allows the ~ultomatic construction of predictions about semantic relationships among words appearing in coltocatioz~al systems. We illustrate the at)proach for the acquisition of lexical information for several classes of nominals.

The role of Persian causative markers in the acquisition of English causative verbs

     This project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in English as a foreign language by Iranian speakers. Results of translation and picture judgment task show although L2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in English, they were constrained by ...

Corpus-Based Induction of Lexical Representation and Meaning

The acquisition of linguistic knowledge, i.e., the identication, extraction, and encoding of linguistic information in a corpus, has been one of the main motivations for data-driven approaches to natural language. Methods have been developed for the acquisition of, for instance, parts of speech, noun compounds, collocations, support verbs, subcategorization frames, phrase structure rules, selec...

A Framework for Enriching Lexical Semantic Resources with Distributional Semantics

We present an approach to combining distributional semantic representations induced from text corpora with manually constructed lexical-semantic networks. While both kinds of semantic resources are available with high lexical coverage, our aligned resource combines the domain specificity and availability of contextual information from distributional models with the conciseness and high quality ...
