Differentiating Types of Verb Particle Constructions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A verb particle construction (VPC) classification scheme gleaned from linguistic sources has been used to assess its usefulness for identifying issues in decomposability. Linguistic sources have also been used to inform the features suitable for use in building an automatic classifier for the scheme with a series of good performance results. The notions of how to define the task of computing phrasal verbs are discussed and new proposals are presented.

Identifying Verbal Collocations in Wikipedia Articles
In this paper, we focus on various methods for detecting verbal collocations, i.e. verb-particle constructions and light verb constructions in Wikipedia articles. Our results suggest that for verb-particle constructions, POS-tagging and restriction on the particle seem to yield the best result whereas the combination of POS-tagging, syntactic information and restrictions on the nominal and verb...
متن کاملVerb-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 کاملStatistical Techniques for Automatically Inferring the Semantics of Verb-Particle Constructions
This paper describes an investigation of some potential features for a statistical approach to inferring the semantics of verb-particle constructions from corpus data. Verb-particles cause particular problems for the computational semantic analysis of language, because their meaning often cannot be derived through the usual compositional methods of analysis. Two novel techniques are presented w...

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, tak...
متن کاملVerb-Particle Constructions in Questions
In this paper, we investigate the behavior of verb-particle constructions in English questions. We present a small dataset that contains questions and verb-particle construction candidates. We demonstrate that there are significant differences in the distribution of WH-words, verbs and prepositions/particles in sentences that contain VPCs and sentences that contain only verb + prepositional phr...
