Exploiting Fine-grained Syntactic Transfer Features to Predict the Compositionality of German Particle Verbs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a distributional approach to predict the compositionality of German particle verbs by modelling changes in syntactic argument structure. We justify the experiments on theoretical grounds and employ GermaNet, Topic Models and Singular Value Decomposition for generalization, to compensate for data sparseness. Evaluating against three human-rated gold standards, our finegrained syntactic approach is able to predict the level of compositionality of the particle verbs but is nevertheless inferior to a coarse-grained bag-of-words approach.

Optimizing a Distributional Semantic Model for the Prediction of German Particle Verb Compositionality
In the work presented here we assess the degree of compositionality of German Particle Verbs with a Distributional Semantics Model which only relies on word window information and has no access to syntactic information as such. Our method only takes the lexical distributional distance between the Particle Verb to its Base Verb as a predictor for compositionality. We show that the ranking of dis...
متن کاملDetermining the Degree of Compositionality of German Particle Verbs by Clustering Approaches
This work determines the degree of compositionality of German particle verbs by two soft clustering approaches. We assume that the more compositional a particle verb is, the more often it appears in the same cluster with its base verb, after applying a probability threshold to establish cluster membership. As German particle verbs are difficult to approach automatically at the syntax-semantics ...

German particle verbs are a type of multi word expression which is often compositional with respect to a base verb. If they are compositional they tend to express the same types of semantic arguments, but they do not necessarily express them in the same syntactic subcategorization frame: some arguments may be expressed by differing syntactic subcategorization slots and other arguments may be on...
متن کاملGhoSt-PV: A Representative Gold Standard of German Particle Verbs
German particle verbs represent a frequent type of multi-word-expression that forms a highly productive paradigm in the lexicon. Similarly to other multi-word expressions, particle verbs exhibit various levels of compositionality. One of the major obstacles for the study of compositionality is the lack of representative gold standards of human ratings. In order to address this bottleneck, this ...
متن کاملSyntactic Transfer Patterns of German Particle Verbs and their Impact on Lexical Semantics
German particle verbs, like anblicken (to gaze at) combine a base verb (blicken) with a particle (an) to form a special kind of Multi Word Expression. Particle verbs may share the semantics of the base verb and the particle to a variable degree. However, while syntactic subcategorization frames tend to be good predictor for the semantics of verbs in general (verbs that are similar in meaning al...
