This paper presents a method of improving the quality of subcategorization frames (SCFs) acquired from corpora in order to augment a lexicon of a lexicalized grammar.

Since the SCF confidence vectors obtained from the lexicon of the target grammar involve co-occurrence te...

The system consists of two linguistically significant parts: a machine lexicon residing on a direct access device and a program package. The machine lexicon contains: I. English words, 2. a code providing ...
