Valency and Word Order in Czech --- A Corpus Probe

2014-05-01 · LREC 2014 5 · Kate{\v{r}}ina Rysov{\'a}, Ji{\v{r}}{\'\i} M{\'\i}rovsk{\'y}

We present a part of broader research on word order aiming at finding factors influencing word order in Czech (i.e. in an inflectional language) and their intensity. The main aim of the paper is to test a hypothesis that obligatory adverbials (in terms of the valency) follow the non-obligatory (i.e. optional) ones in the surface word order. The determined hypothesis was tested by creating a list of features for the decision trees algorithm and by searching in data of the Prague Dependency Treebank using the search tool PML Tree Query. Apart from the valency, our experiment also evaluates importance of several other features, such as argument length and deep syntactic function. Neither of the used methods has proved the given hypothesis but according to the results, there are several other features that influence word order of contextually non-bound free modifiers of a verb in Czech, namely position of the sentence in the text, form and length of the verb modifiers (the whole subtrees), and the semantic dependency relation (functor) of the modifiers.

To Pay or to Get Paid: Enriching a Valency Lexicon with Diatheses

2014-05-01 · LREC 2014 5 · Anna Vernerov{\'a}, V{\'a}clava Kettnerov{\'a}, Mark{\'e}ta Lopatkov{\'a}

Valency lexicons typically describe only unmarked usages of verbs (the active form); however, verbs prototypically enter different surface structures. In this paper, we focus on the so-called diatheses, i.e., the relatio…

Towards a Semi-Automatic Detection of Reflexive and Reciprocal Constructions and Their Representation in a Valency Lexicon

2020-05-01 · LREC 2020 5 · V{\'a}clava Kettnerov{\'a}, Marketa Lopatkova, Anna Vernerov{\'a}, Petra Barancikova

Valency lexicons usually describe valency behavior of verbs in non-reflexive and non-reciprocal constructions. However, reflexive and reciprocal constructions are common morphosyntactic forms of verbs. Both of these cons…
