Hungarian Copula Constructions in Dependency Syntax and Parsing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Copula constructions are problematic in the syntax of most languages. The paper describes three different dependency syntactic methods for handling copula constructions: function head, content head and complex label analysis. Furthermore, we also propose a POS-based approach to copula detection. We evaluate the impact of these approaches in computational parsing, in two parsing experiments for Hungarian.

Dependency Parsing for Identifying Hungarian Light Verb Constructions
Light verb constructions (LVCs) are verb and noun combinations in which the verb has lost its meaning to some degree and the noun is used in one of its original senses. They often share their syntactic pattern with other constructions (e.g. verbobject pairs) thus LVC detection can be viewed as classifying certain syntactic patterns as light verb constructions or not. In this paper, we explore a...
متن کاملThe Syntax of Hungarian Auxiliaries: A Dependency Grammar Account
This paper addresses a hot topic of Hungarian syntactic research, viz. the treatment of “discontinuous” constructions involving auxiliaries. The case is made for a projective dependency grammar (DG) account built on the notions of rising and catenae (Groß and Osborne, 2009). Additionally, the semantic basis of the dependency created by rising is described with a view to analogy and construction...
متن کاملAn improved joint model: POS tagging and dependency parsing
Dependency parsing is a way of syntactic parsing and a natural language that automatically analyzes the dependency structure of sentences, and the input for each sentence creates a dependency graph. Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging is a prerequisite for dependency parsing. Generally, dependency parsers do the POS tagging task along with dependency parsing in a pipeline mode. Unfortunately, in pipel...
متن کاملDetecting Multiword Expressions by Dependency Parsing
In this poster, we present how different types of MWEs can be identified by dependency parsers in different languages. In our investigations, we focus on English verb-particle constructions (VPCs), Hungarian light verb constructions (LVCs) and German light verb constructions. In our experiments, we exploit the fact that some treebanks contain MWE-aware annotations, i.e. there are MWE-specific m...
متن کاملMismatches in Korean Copula Constructions and Linearization Effects
One main complexity of the copula constructions concerns a mismatch between morphology and syntactic constituency: the copula seems to form a morphological unit with the immediately preceding element, whereas in terms of syntax the copula appears to take this as its syntactic complement. In capturing such mismatches, we show that the copula is treated as an independent verb at the level of tect...
