Predicting co-occurrence restrictions by using semantic classifications in the lexicon
Elena Viktorovna Paducheva, Ekaterina V. Rakhilina · 1990
In this paper we investigate general principles of constructing semantic classifications that yield useful predictions concerning combinatory options of words. Several semantic classes of Russian words are discussed, implemented in an expert system named "Lexicographer", the system being conceived as an aid both in the area of natural language processing and in traditional lexicography. Semantic features proposed regulate co-occurence of verbs with their non-obligatory dependents - such as Modifiers of place or time; Instrumental and Benefactive objects and the like.
