Hindi Syntax: Annotating Dependency, Lexical Predicate-Argument Structure, and Phrase Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a treebanking project for Hindi/Urdu. We are annotating dependency syntax, lexical predicate-argument structure, and phrase structure syntax in a coordinated and partly automated manner. The paper focuses on choices in syntactic representation, and the stages we think are most appropriate for annotating differnt types of information.

phrase with a single argument structure. Complex predicates of this sort are found in Japanese, Turkish, and Persian, among many others. Since complex predicates are so generally available, they must be the result of very general linguistic processes, which I will propose are part of syntax and the syntax/interpretative interface, or logical form. In this paper I consider two kinds of syntactic...
متن کاملHindi Aspectual Complex Predicates
This paper discusses ergative case assignment in Hindi and its interaction with aspectual verb complexes or complex predicate constructions. It is shown that ergative case is assigned by the last head in the aspectual verb complex and that ergative case on the subject of intransitive verbs denoting bodily-functions is associated with a counter-to-expectation meaning. It is then shown that aspec...
متن کاملKeeping it Simple: Generating Phrase Structure Trees from a Hindi Dependency Treebank
Converting a treebank from one representation type to another poses several challenges [4] [3]. These challenges are contingent on (amongst other things) the information encoded in source representation and the information required in target representation. In this paper, we propose a conversion algorithm that converts the Hindi-Urdu Dependency Treebank (HUTB) to a Phrase Structure (PS) represe...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Hindi Proposition Bank using Dependency Structure
This paper makes two contributions. First, we describe the Hindi Proposition Bank that contains annotations of predicate argument structures of verb predicates. Unlike PropBanks in most other languages, the Hind PropBank is annotated on top of dependency structure, the Hindi Dependency Treebank. We explore the similarities between dependency and predicate argument structures, so the PropBank an...

First, we believe that the phrase structure used by many (if not most) linguistic theories is useful only in deriving the syntactic behavior of lexical heads (or classes of lexical heads) from more general principles(which is of course the goal of syntactic theory); once derived, the syntactic behavior can be expressed in simpler terms that can be easier to manipulate in a computational setting...
