In this paper we will describe a process for mining syntactical verbal subcategorization, i.e. the information about the kind of phrases or clauses a verb goes with. We will use a large text corpus having almost 10,000,000 tagged words as our resource material. Loglinear modeling is used to analyze and automatically identify the subcategorization dependencies. An unsupervised clustering algorit...

In this study, we took advantage of the unusual grammatical characteristics of clitic pronouns in Italian (e.g., lo and la in portalo and portala 'bring it [masculine]/[feminine]', respectively)-the fact that clitics have both nominal and verbal charac...

A natural language parser that could extract noun phrases for all medical texts would be of great utility in analyzing content for information retrieval. We discuss the extraction of noun phrases from MEDLINE, using a general parser not tuned specifically for any medical domain. The noun phrase extractor is made up of three modules: tokenization; part-of-speech tagging; noun phrase identificati...

This paper proposes a dictionary-based method of recognizing and paraphrasing Japanese periphrastic and overlapping verb phrases. Periphrastic VP is a phrase in which the verb or the noun functions as an adverb, voice or aspect. Overlapping VP is a phrase in which there is an overlapping meaning between the verb and the noun. The result of our experiment showed that the method can deal with tho...
