Enhancing Automatic Acquisition of Thematic Structure in a Large-Scale Lexicon for Mandarin Chinese
抄録
This paper describes a refinement to our procedure for porting lexical
conceptual structure into new languages. Specifically we describe a
two-step process for creating candidate thematic grids for Mandarin
Chinese verbs, using the English verb heading the VP in the
subdefinitions to separate senses, and roughly parsing the verb
complement structure to match to our thematic structure templates.
The procedure is part of a larger process of creating a usable lexicon
for interlingual machine translation from a large on-line resource
with both too much and too little information necessary for our
system.
