Particle verbs in NLP lexicons
Anke Lüdeling · 2000
This paper discusses the problems that arise in NLP lexicons if German particle verbs are analyzed as words. I suggest analyzing them as phrasal constructions consisting of an adverb, an adjective, or a preposition and a verb. It is then not necessary to have separate lexicon entries for compositional particle verbs. Noncompositional particle verbs also do not need separate lexicon entries for tagging and parsing. They need multi-word lexicon entries for all those applications that operate on semantic representations.
