GermaNet Synsets as Selectional Preferences in Semantic Verb Clustering
Sabine Schulte im Walde · LDV-Forum/Journal for language technology and computational linguistics · 2004
WordNet and its German version GermaNet have widely been used as source for fine-grained selectional preference information, focusing on but not restricted to verb-object relationships (Resnik, 1997; Ribas, 1995; Li and Abe, 1998; Abney and Light, 1999; Wagner, 2000; McCarthy, 2001; Clark and Weir, 2002). In contrast, this paper presents an approach where argument slots of variable verb-frame combinations are refined by coarse selectional preferences as obtained from the top-level GermaNet nodes.
