Frame Information Transfer from English to Italian
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an automatic projection algorithm for transferring frame-semantic information from English to Italian texts, as a first sep towards the creation of Italian FrameNet. Projection of frame semantic information from English to other European languages has already been investigated for German, Swedish and French. With our work, we point out typical features of the Italian language as regards frame-semantic annotation, in particular we describe peculiarities of Italian that at the moment make the projection task more difficult than in the above-mentioned examples. Besides, we created a gold standard with 987 manually annotated sentences to evaluate the algorithm. 1. Towards Italian FrameNet

متن کاملEnglish/Italian Bilinguals Switch Gesture Parameters when they Switch Languages
We investigated gestural communication in early bilinguals. In particular, we tested which aspects of gestures were “transferred” from a language to another. Though transfer in spoken languages has been studied extensively, transfer in gesture is understudied. Gesture transfer can provide useful information on the cognitive architecture in bilingualism. In this study our focus is on gesture rat...

متن کاملCombining Word Sense and Usage for Modeling Frame Semantics
Models of lexical semantics are core paradigms in most NLP applications, such as dialogue, information extraction and document understanding. Unfortunately, the coverage of currently available resources (e.g. FrameNet) is still unsatisfactory. This paper presents a largely applicable approach for extending frame semantic resources, combining word sense information derived fromWordNet and corpus...
متن کاملEvalIta 2011: The Frame Labeling over Italian Texts Task
The FLaIT task held within the EvalIta 2011 challenge is here described. Systems were asked to label semantic frames and their arguments as evoked by input predicate words over plain text sentences. Proposed systems are based on a variety of learning techniques and achieve very good results, over 80% of accuracy, in most subtasks. 1 The Frame Labeling Task In the “Frame Labeling over Italian Te...
