Verb-Particle Constructions And Lexical Resources
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of verb-particle constructions, discussing their characteristics and their availability for use with NLP systems. We concentrate in particular on the coverage provided by some electronic resources. Given the constantly growing number of verb-particle combinations, possible ways of extending the coverage of the available resources are investigated, taking into account regular patterns found in some productive combinations of verbs and particles. We discuss, in particular, the use of Levin’s (1993) classes of verbs as a means to obtain productive verb-particle constructions, and discuss the issues involved in adopting such an approach.

Verb-particle constructions in a computational grammar of English
In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of verb-particle constructions, discussing their characteristics and the challenges that they present for a computational grammar. We concentrate our discussion on the treatment adopted in a wide-coverage HPSG grammar: the LinGO ERG. Given the constantly growing number of verb-particle combinations, possible ways of extending this treatment are invest...
متن کاملVerb-Particle Constructions in the World Wide Web
In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of verb-particle constructions, discussing their characteristics and their availability for use with NLP systems. Combinations automatically extracted from corpora greatly improve the coverage of available resources. However, the data sparseness problem is particularly acute for these constructions and even using a corpus as large as the British Natio...
متن کاملPicking them up and Figuring them out: Verb-Particle Constructions, Noise and Idiomaticity
This paper investigates, in a first stage, some methods for the automatic acquisition of verb-particle constructions (VPCs) taking into account their statistical properties and some regular patterns found in productive combinations of verbs and particles. Given the limited coverage provided by lexical resources, such as dictionaries, and the constantly growing number of VPCs, possible ways of a...
متن کاملBaldwin, Timothy (2005) The Deep Lexical Acquisition of English Verb-particle Constructions, Computer Speech and Language, Special Issue on Multiword Expressions, Volume 19, Issue 4, pp. 398-414
This paper proposes a range of techniques for extracting English verb–particle constructions from raw text corpora, complete with valence information. We propose four basic methods, based on the output of a POS tagger, chunker, chunk grammar and dependency parser, respectively. We then present a combined classifier which we show to consolidate the strengths of the component methods.
متن کاملDeconstructing the German Verb Particle Nach at the Syntax - Semantics Interface
German particle verbs have been a source of confusion and disagreement in both syntax and semantics. This is shown by the considerable variety of approaches to particle verb constructions (see Dehé et al. 2002 for an overview). The major challenges are the argument structure of particle verbs and the role that particles play in determining them, especially in those cases where the argument stru...
