Abstract. Verb Particle Constructions (VPCs) are flexible in nature and hence quite complex and challenging to handle. As a consequence, VPCs generate a lot of interest for NLP community. Despite their prevalence in English they are not handled very well, and hence often result in poor quality of translation. In this paper we investigate VPCs for English to Hindi translation. An English VPC can have different meanings in Hindi based on what its neighboring entities are. The paper focuses on finding the correct Hindi verb for an English VPC. We also discuss some rules for VPC identification, and approaches for resolving the context of a VPC for English to Hindi machine translation.
