Assigning XTAG Trees to VerbNet
Neville Ryant, Karin Kipper · 2004
This paper presents the mappings between the syntactic information of our broad-coverage domain-independent verb lexicon, VerbNet, to Xtag trees. This mapping between complemen-tary resources allowed us to increase the syn-tactic coverage of our verb lexicon by capturing transformations of the basic syntactic descrip-tion of the verbs present in VerbNet. In addi-tion, having these two resources mapped allows the semantic predicates present in our lexicon to be used to disambiguate Xtag verb senses. 1
