Deverbal Nouns in Czech Light Verb Constructions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we provide a well-founded description of Czech deverbal nouns in both nominal and verbal structures (light verb constructions), based on a complex interaction between the lexicon and the grammar. We show that light verb constructions result from a regular syntactic operation. We introduce two interlinked valency lexicons, NomVallex and VALLEX , demonstrating how to minimize the size of lexicon entries while allowing for the generation of well-formed nominal and verbal structures of deverbal nouns.

Detecting Noun Compounds and Light Verb Constructions: a Contrastive Study
In this paper, we describe our methods to detect noun compounds and light verb constructions in running texts. For noun compounds, dictionary-based methods and POStagging seem to contribute most to the performance of the system whereas for light verb constructions, the combination of POStagging, syntactic information and restrictions on the nominal and verbal component yield the best result. Ho...
متن کاملThe Representation of Czech Light Verb Constructions in a Valency Lexicon
Light verb constructions (LVCs) pose a serious challenge for both theoretical and applied linguistics as their syntactic structures are not solely determined by verbs alone but also by predicative nouns. In this contribution, we introduce an initial step to a new formal lexicographic representation of LVCs for the valency lexicon of Czech verbs, VALLEX. The main idea underlying our representati...
متن کاملAgents Expressed by Prepositionless Instrumental Modifying Czech Nouns Derived from Intransitive Verbs
The present paper aims to provide corpus-based description of Czech deverbal nouns that allow for modification by Agent expressed by prepositionless instrumental, A1(Ins). As the starting point we give frequency data of selected nouns derived from transitive verbs. Then we focus on nouns derived from intransitive verbs and show that modification by A1(Ins) is possible not only with nouns derive...
متن کاملNominalizaciones deverbales: denotación y estructura argumental
Spanish deverbal nominalizations are linguistic constructions characterized by presenting properties of common nouns but also by inheriting the argument structure of the verbs from which they derive. This duality aroused considerable interest in deverbal nominalizations in Linguistics. On the one hand, they can denote both the state or the result of the action expressed by the corresponding bas...
متن کاملDeverbal Nouns in Knowledge Representation
Deverbal nouns pose serious challenges for knowledgerepresentation systems. We present a method of canonicalizing deverbal noun representations, relying on a rich lexicon of verb subcategorization frames, the WordNet database, a large finite-state network for derivational morphology, and a series of heuristics for mapping deverbal arguments onto the arguments of corresponding verbs.
