Extending the adverbial coverage of a French morphological lexicon
Elsa Tolone, Stavroula Voyatzi, Claude Martineau, Matthieu Constant · 2012
We present an extension of the adverbial entries of the French morphological lexicon DELA (Dictionnaires Electroniques du LADL / LADL electronic dictionaries).Adverbs were extracted from LGLex, a NLP-oriented syntactic resource for French, which in its turn contains all adverbs extracted from the Lexicon-Grammar tables of both simple adverbs ending in -ment (i.e., '-ly') (Molinier and Levrier, 2000) and compound adverbs (Gross, 1986b; Gross, 1986a).This work exploits fine-grained linguistic information provided in existing resources.The resulting resource is reviewed in order to delete duplicates and is freely available under the LGPL-LR license.
